Big game in win Alexander went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a hit-by-pitch and four RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Alexander opened the scoring with a three-run double in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the fourth. He's taken over as Arizona's starting third baseman since Eugenio Suarez was traded to Seattle. The increase in playing time has worked well -- Alexander is 8-for-25 (.320) with four extra-base hits over seven games in August. For the season, he's at a .240/.329/.400 slash line with two homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases through 87 plate appearances.

Settles in as primary third baseman Alexander will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Losing work vs. RHPs Alexander is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Alexander started in seven consecutive games from July 13 through last Wednesday, but he'll likely be relegated to a short-side platoon role moving forward. He'll hit the bench Monday for the third time in the last four games, with his lone start during that stretch coming Saturday against Pirates southpaw Andrew Heaney.

Nabbing fifth straight start Alexander will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Astros.

Impact Though Ketel Marte will make his first start of the second half following a brief stint on the restricted list coming out of the All-Star break, he'll be used at designated hitter rather than at his usual spot at the keystone. As a result, Alexander will pick up his fifth consecutive start, after he had gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, four runs and three RBI. Until the Diamondbacks get Pavin Smith (oblique) back from the injured list, the team could have a regular spot in the lineup available for either Adrian Del Castillo or Alexander, though the latter's standing as a right-handed hitter may work against him from a playing-time standpoint.

Scores three times in win Alexander went 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Alexander singled and scored in his first two plate appearances and then scored after reaching on an error. He's started both games following the All-Star break, filling in at second base for Ketel Marte, who was on the restricted list while dealing with an issue at home. Marte is expected to return Sunday, which likely means Alexander will not make a third straight start.

Suarez hits 32nd and 33rd homers as Diamondbacks rout Cardinals 10-1

JULY 20 • Associated Press

Starts first game back Alexander started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Alexander started the first game back from the All-Star break, while primary second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list to deal with a burglary at his home in Phoenix. It's unclear how much time Marte will require, and manager Torey Lovullo referred to the absence as "a day-to-day situation," per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Alexander has hit safely in three consecutive games, going 4-for-12 with three doubles and two RBI.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in at second base Alexander started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 6-3 win over San Diego.

Impact Alexander was a late addition to the starting lineup after Ketel Marte (groin) was scratched. Marte is hoping to play Tuesday, but Alexander remains on call if needed.

Impact Alexander was a late addition to the starting lineup after Ketel Marte (groin) was scratched. Marte is hoping to play Tuesday, but Alexander remains on call if needed.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Make third straight start Alexander started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Royals.

Impact Alexander spelled Ketel Marte, who was given the day off, and made a third consecutive start. On Thursday, Alexander played second while Marte operated as the designated hitter, and he started at third base Friday while Eugenio Suarez was the DH. Alexander is in line to take that utility fill-in role that had belonged to Tim Tawa, who was sent down to Triple-A Reno on Saturday to clear a roster spot for Corbin Carroll's return from a wrist injury.

Injury-depleted Diamondbacks place Ildemaro Vargas on IL, give James McCann first start this season

JUNE 25 • Associated Press

Receiving call-up The Diamondbacks recalled Alexander from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Impact With fellow Reno infielder Jordan Lawlar nursing a hamstring injury, Alexander will move up to the big club after the Diamondbacks lost Ildemaro Vargas to a fractured right foot. Alexander is capable of playing three infield spots as well as center field, but he may see most of his initial action at third base while Eugenio Suarez (hand) is day-to-day. Alexander appeared in 61 games for Arizona in 2024 but has played exclusively at the Triple-A level so far in 2025, slashing .284/.413/.479 with eight home runs and 11 stolen bases over 54 contests with Reno.

Impact The Vargas injury leaves the Diamondbacks short in the infield, as he was already replacing Eugenio Suarez (hand), who is expected to miss multiple days. Tim Tawa filled for Vargas on Tuesday, but the situation could develop into Alexander being called up. Alexander, who had qualified success during his MLB debut in 2024, owns a .284/.413/.479 line with eight home runs, 41 RBI, 11 steals and 41 runs over 54 games for Reno.
