Scratched with calf tightness Alexander was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics due to right calf tightness, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact There's been no word yet on the severity of Alexander's injury, but it's enough to keep him from playing Friday. Weston Wilson will enter the starting nine to replace Alexander at third base.

MAY 7 • Associated Press

Sitting after six straight starts Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Following a stretch of six consecutive starts at four different positions, Alexander will head to the bench. Despite going 7-for-19 at the dish to begin May, Alexander is still slashing just .222/.276/.247 on the season. Alexander's defensive versatility could allow him to continue seeing semi-regular playing time, but he's not doing much yet to warrant attention outside of AL-only leagues.

Claiming fourth straight start Alexander will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Alexander will stick in the lineup for the fourth straight game at his third different position, after previously making starts at center field and shortstop. The Orioles will likely continue to make room for Alexander in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start against righties may be more sporadic while he maintains a weak .472 OPS over 80 plate appearances on the season.

APRIL 30 • Associated Press

Sitting after three straight starts Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Alexander had cracked the lineup in each of the last three games, making starts at third base, center field and right field while going 0-for-10 at the plate. The 27-year-old's ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots has helped him see semi-regular starts for most of the season, but his poor offensive production has prevented him from solidifying a full-time role. Alexander is slashing just .185/.254/.204 with a 31.7 percent strikeout rate over 60 plate appearances on the campaign.

Sitting Saturday Alexander is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Impact Alexander will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game, with Coby Mayo starting at third base and batting eighth. Alexander is slashing .227/.292/.250 with three steals (in four attempts), one RBI, six runs scored and a 3:15 BB:K across 49 plate appearances this season.

Drops out of starting nine Monday Alexander is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Alexander had been included in the lineup for all three games of the Orioles' weekend series in Pittsburgh, making two starts at third base and one at second base while going 2-for-10 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs. Coby Mayo will cover third base and Jeremiah Jackson will man the keystone Monday, but those two players and Alexander will have to vie for one spot in the Orioles' everyday lineup once Jackson Holliday (hand) returns from the injured list, which could happen later this week.

MARCH 31 • Associated Press

Sitting in second straight game Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Alexander received the Opening Day start at second base, but he'll end up hitting the bench in favor of Jeremiah Jackson for a second straight game as the Orioles close out their home series with the Twins. Baltimore is likely to deploy Alexander and Jackson in a timeshare at the keystone until Jackson Holliday (hand) -- who began a minor-league rehab assignment Friday -- is ready to return from the injured list.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Alexander is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Alexander drew the start at second base Thursday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI single in the seventh inning. He'll be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Jeremiah Jackson starts at the keystone and bats ninth.
