Another outfield start Alexander started in center field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and was caught stealing in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Texas.

Impact Alexander started a second straight game in center field, both coming against left-handers. With the news that Lourdes Gurriel is done for the season with a torn ACL, there's a greater need for Alexander's right-handed bat in the outfield. He has experience in center field and replaced Gurriel in left field Monday.

Gets start in center field Alexander started in center field and went and went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo discussed Alexander's shifting role last week, including time in the outfield. The outfield skews lefty, particularly in center field, and Alexander gives the manager a right-handed option against southpaws, as was the case Monday against Texas lefty Patrick Corbin. Alexander then showed off his versatility by playing left field, when Lourdes Gurriel (knee) was removed, and eventually third base by the end of the game. He's been on a roll that last week, going 7-for-21 with five extra-base hits, five RBI, one steal and seven runs scored over the last six contests.

Back at third base Saturday Alexander started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Alexander is swinging a hot bat right now, going 6-for-14 with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored over a four-game hit streak. A day after manager Torey Lovullo discussed Alexander's role -- shifting from primary third baseman to a utility role -- he was back at the hot corner against a right-hander. Lovullo talked to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports on Friday about having the Jordan Lawlar playing the left side of the infield but added that would be against lefties and certain righties. As both Alexander and Lawlar are right-handed batters, this isn't a traditional platoon situation.

Role changing Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Alexander's role will shift from primary starter at third base to slotting in at various spots around the field after top prospect Jordan Lawlar...

Impact Alexander had been the primary starter at third base since the Eugenio Suarez trade, but slid over to second base while Lawlar manned the hot corner. Lovullo said Lawlar would be limited to the left side of the infield -- shortstop or third base -- and would start against all lefties, while the manager does a mix-and-match against righties. Lovullo also said the righty-hitting Alexander could get starts in center field, where the Diamondbacks are lefty heavy.

Pops homer in win Alexander went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Aelxander is up to seven homers this season, and three of them have come over his last seven games. The infielder has gone 7-for-25 (.280) with four walks and nine strikeouts in that span. He's up to a .234/.331/.441 slash line with 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases over 168 plate appearances. Alexander has gotten most of his recent playing time at third base, though he covered second base while Ketel Marte served as designated hitter in Friday's contest.
