Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Alexander's role will shift from primary starter at third base to playing various spots around the field after top prospect Jordan Lawlar was called up to the majors, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander had been the primary starter at third base since the Eugenio Suarez trade but slid over to second base Friday 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.

Alexander went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Alexander went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander smashed his sixth homer of the campaign, with each blast having come in the month of August. With Eugenio Suarez now in Seattle, Alexander is set to continue operating as Arizona's primary third baseman for the remainder of the year. The 26-year-old infielder is batting just .236 but has four doubles, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored over his last 89 at-bats.

Alexander went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander broke out of a slump Saturday, contributing a run-scoring, ground-rule double in the first inning and a solo homer in the fifth. The infielder was 3-for-32 (.094) with zero RBI over the previous nine games. Since taking over the role as the team's primary third baseman, Alexander is slashing .247/.344/.481 with five home runs, four doubles and 11 RBI over 23 contests.

Alexander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander belted his fourth home run in nine games, and his second in as many nights, by taking Jack Leiter yard in the third inning. He hadn't hit a round tripper in 2025 before the start of this nine-game stretch. The 26-year-old has been outstanding since taking Eugenio Suarez's spot at third base, and he's 14-for-38 (.368) in August with nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Alexander went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander logged a third straight multi-hit game and has reached base safely in all nine contests since taking over as the primary starter at third base. He's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with two doubles, two home runs, five walks, seven RBI and five runs since the Diamondbacks traded Eugenio Suarez.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

In the wake of Eugenio Suarez being traded to the Mariners on Thursday, Alexander appears to have settled in as Arizona's everyday third baseman. He'll pick up his fifth straight start Sunday after going 2-for-14 with a walk and a run over the previous four contests.

Alexander is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
