Dealing with contusion Alexander suffered a left elbow contusion in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alexander was hit by a pitch in the top of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest as a result. He appears to have avoided any significant damage, and the 26-year-old is considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener with the Giants at home.

Impact Alexander appeared to be in significant pain after being hit, but he was able to take his base before checking out of the game in the bottom half of the inning. The Diamondbacks will likely send Alexander in for X-rays, but even if he avoids a fracture, he could be dealing with enough swelling or soreness to keep him out of the lineup for a few days. Alexander had settled into an everyday role for the Diamondbacks in the aftermath of the July 31 trade deadline, batting .250 with seven home runs, one stolen base, 21 runs and 22 RBI in 41 games since then.

Impact Alexander gave Arizona a three-run cushion in the 10th inning on a double to right field that brought Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno home. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Alexander after he went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. He has logged at least one hit in five of his last six games and has gone 10-for-41 (.244) with seven RBI in 11 games since the start of September.

Adjusting defensively to outfield Alexander started at third base and eventually moved to left field. He went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over Boston.

Impact Alexander moved to left field in the seventh inning. One inning later, the player who hadn't played outfield in the majors before this past week robbed Alex Bregman of a home run. He's made three outfield starts and could soon qualify as one for fantasy teams, depending on league requirements. Alexander is slashing .234/.332/.431 with seven home runs, a .197 ISO and 22 RBI over 167 at-bats.

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.
