  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Debuting Thursday

    Alexander will bat seventh and serve as Arizona's designated hitter Thursday against Colorado.

    A strong spring earned Alexander a spot on the D-backs' Opening Day roster, and he'll now be making his MLB debut against left-hander Kyle Freeland with Joc Pederson in the dugout. The 24-year-old Alexander slashed .291/.408/.457 with eight home runs and 52 RBI across 305 plate appearances at Triple-A Reno last season.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Makes Opening Day roster

    Alexander made the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Alexander made a strong case for the Opening Day roster during spring training, slashing .400/.431/.655 with two homers and eight RBI across 58 plate appearances. The 24-year-old infield prospect will likely grab a seat on the bench while with Arizona, but he could make an occasional start in order to give one of the regular starters a breather.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Makes case for roster

    Alexander started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against Texas.

    Alexander is still hanging around major-league camp and can't be ruled out of a spot on the Opening Day roster. There isn't an everyday home for the prospect, but the infielder is batting .400 with five extra-base hits and three stolen bases through 18 Cactus League games. If he can handle multiple positions and the Diamondbacks are fine with him not getting regular at-bats, Alexander could be added to the roster. He's appeared in games at second base (12), third base (three), designated hitter (two) and shortstop (one).

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Doing what's asked of him

    Alexander started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's spring game against Cincinnati.

    Alexander has responded to a spring training challenge from Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, who gave the shortstop areas on which to focus in camp, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. "Show us that you're versatile and can play more than one position. Control the at-bats, control the zone, don't worry about hitting home runs, [focus on] gap-to-gap," the manager said at the start of camp. Alexander has played shortstop, second base and third base in Cactus League action, hit to all fields, and compiled a 1.035 OPS over 29 plate appearances. Arizona general manager Mike Hazen, who was effusive about the prospect's spring performance, prefers that Alexander get regular at-bats in the minors, but the 24-year-old infielder could force decision-makers to rethink their plans.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Activated off minor-league IL

    Alexander (thumb) was activated from the minor-league injured list Tuesday at Triple-A Reno, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

    Alexander suffered a fractured right thumb on a hit-by-pitch back in mid-April and wound up missing exactly two months of minor-league action. The 24-year-old infielder had put up a sensational .458/.618/.792 batting line through 34 plate appearances this season at the Triple-A level prior to the lengthy IL stint.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Banged up at Triple-A

    Alexander was placed on the 7-day injured list April 14 at Triple-A Reno with a broken right thumb, Michael McDermott of SI.com reports.

    Alexander sustained the injury in an April 13 game, when he was hit by a pitch in the bill of the helmet before the ball ricocheted into his thumb. The shortstop is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks. The injury is a tough break for the 23-year-old, who was making a strong early case for a promotion to the big leagues by submitting a 1.410 OPS and 8:6 BB:K through his first nine games with Reno.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Optioned to Triple-A level

    Alexander was optioned Friday to Triple-A Reno.

    Alexander was one of seven players in this round of cuts from the major-league side of Diamondbacks camp. The 23-year-old infielder could climb to the majors at some point during the 2023 campaign after slashing .301/.389/.540 with 20 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 98 minor-league games last season. He finished up at Reno.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Protected from Rule 5 draft

    Alexander was added to the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Tuesday.

    Alexander raked at Double-A Amarillo with a .927 OPS to earn a late-season promotion to Triple-A Reno, and he's now been added to Arizona's 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft. The 23-year-old could make his big-league debut sometime next year.
