Kicks off rehab assignment Alexander (oblique) began a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, going 0-for-1 with two hit-by-pitches and a run scored.

Impact Alexander played four innings at shortstop before checking out of the contest. The 25-year-old missed most of the Cactus League while recovering from a right oblique strain and will likely remain on assignment at Triple-A through the weekend before the Diamondbacks consider bringing him back from the injured list. Tim Tawa has recently taken over as Arizona's primary second baseman since Ketel Marte (hamstring) landed on the IL, but Alexander could emerge as a candidate to fill in at the keystone once he completes his rehab assignment and if Tawa is struggling to produce.

Placed on 10-day injured list The Diamondbacks placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.comreports.

Impact Alexander suffered the injury in late February and only just resumed baseball activities last week. He isn't a given to join the major-league roster once he's physically ready to do so.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Begins baseball activity Alexander (oblique) has started baseball activities, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact The activities include throwing and hitting off a tee. Alexander suffered a right-oblique strain at the end of February and has been held out of Cactus League action since then.

Diamondbacks shortstop Blaze Alexander's status for opening day in doubt due to oblique strain

Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Blaze Alexander will miss several weeks with a strained right oblique, potentially putting his status for opening day in doubt

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Out with oblique strain Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Alexander suffered a Grade 1 right oblique strain and will be unavailable for Opening Day, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly Alexander sustained the injury, but his last appearance in a Cactus League game came Monday versus the Guardians. The 25-year-old was fighting to earn a roster spot as a utility infielder but now appears set to begin the campaign on the injured list.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes spring debut Alexander started at second base and went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's spring game against the Rockies.

Impact Alexander is expected to play multiple infield positions in a quest to claim a utility role on the Opening Day roster. It's the same role Kevin Newman held last season, but he signed with the Angels in the offseason. The questions surrounding Alexander in first exposure to MLB in 2024 was his defense and the downturn at the plate after a strong April. His primary competition for a roster spot are Garrett Hampson and Ildemaro Vargas.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Luis Guillorme, who was signed Tuesday. Alexander's latest stint in the majors lasted less than a week and he went hitless in 10 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks infielder Blaze Alexander on being called up by the team from Triple-A Reno The Arizona Diamondbacks promoted infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno after second baseman Ketel Marte went down with an ankle inju...

AUGUST 15, 2024 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Rejoins major-league roster The Diamondbacks recalled Alexander from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Impact Alexander will provide some infield depth while Ketel Marte (ankle) is banged up. The rookie has slashed .297/.374/.446 versus left-handed pitching, so if he gets some starts they're likely to come against southpaws.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday

Impact With Gabriel Moreno (thumb) and Alek Thomas (hamstring) returning from the injured list Tuesday, Alexander and Tucker Barnhart will both be pushed back to the minors. In his first season in the big leagues, Alexander has slashed .259/.328/.361 with three homers and 21 RBI across 175 plate appearances. Should the Diamondbacks run into any problems with their infield depth, it's likely the 25-year-old would be one of the first choices for a return to Arizona.
