Assuming he doesn't enter off the bench, he'll end the 2025 season with a .230/.323/.383 slash line, seven home runs, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases across 266 plate appearances. Jordan Lawlar will step in at third base Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was struck on his left elbow by a pitch during the Diamondbacks' 6-4 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Alexander has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with four RBI over his last seven games.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Alexander was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins after being hit in the left elbow by a pitch in the top of the fourth inning, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. He finished 0-for-1 with a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Alexander went 2-for-5 with a two-run double during the Diamondbacks' 5-2 extra-inning win over the Twins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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 Sept. 1.

Alexander started at third base before moving to left field Saturday, going 0-for-3 with an RBI in a 5-1 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander made the defensive switch in the seventh inning. One inning later, he robbed Alex Bregman of a home run despite never having played the outfield in the majors before this past week. He's made three outfield starts and could soon gain fantasy eligibility at the position depending on league requirements. Alexander is slashing .234/.332/.431 with seven home runs, a .197 ISO and 22 RBI over 167 at-bats.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Alexander started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

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 he eventually also played third base by the end of the game. He's been on a roll over the last week, going 7-for-21 with five extra-base hits, five RBI, one steal and seven runs scored over the last six contests.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 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 won't be a traditional platoon situation.
