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.

Alexander went 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander singled and scored in his first two plate appearances and then crossed the plate again after reaching on an error. He's hit safely in four straight contests and has an RBI in three consecutive games. Alexander's started both games following the All-Star break, filling in at second base for Ketel Marte, who was on the restricted list while dealing with a personal issue at home. Marte is expected to return Sunday, which likely means Alexander will get bumped to the bench.

Alexander started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander started the first game back from the All-Star break, while primary second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list to deal with a burglary at his home in Phoenix. It's unclear how much time Marte will require, and manager Torey Lovullo referred to the absence as "a day-to-day situation," per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Alexander has hit safely in three consecutive games, going 4-for-12 with three doubles and two RBI.

Alexander started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 6-3 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was a late addition to the starting lineup after Ketel Marte (groin) was scratched. Marte is hoping to play Tuesday, but Alexander remains on call if needed.

Alexander started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander spelled Ketel Marte, who was given the day off, and made a third consecutive start. On Thursday, Alexander played second while Marte operated as the designated hitter, and the former started at third base Friday while Eugenio Suarez was the DH. Alexander is in line to take that utility fill-in role that had belonged to Tim Tawa, who was sent down to Triple-A Reno on Saturday to clear a roster spot for Corbin Carroll's return from a wrist injury.

The Diamondbacks recalled Alexander from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow Reno infielder Jordan Lawlar nursing a hamstring injury, Alexander will move up to the big club after the Diamondbacks lost Ildemaro Vargas to a fractured right foot. Alexander is capable of playing three infield spots as well as center field, but he may see most of his initial action at third base while Eugenio Suarez (hand) is day-to-day. Alexander appeared in 61 games for Arizona in 2024 but has played exclusively at the Triple-A level so far in 2025, slashing .284/.413/.479 with eight home runs and 11 stolen bases over 54 contests with Reno.

Alexander was scratched from the lineup at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and could be recalled ahead of the Diamondbacks' next game Wednesday against the White Sox, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander's removal from the lineup came after news broke that utility infielder Idlemaro Vargas suffered a fractured foot, which will send him to the injured list. Vargas' injury leaves the Diamondbacks thin in the infield, as he was already replacing Eugenio Suarez (hand), who is expected to miss multiple days. Tim Tawa filled in at third base for Vargas in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox, but if he's called up, Alexander could get playing time at the position until Suarez is deemed ready to return to the field. Alexander owns a .284/.413/.479 line with eight home runs, 41 RBI, 11 steals and 41 runs over 54 games for Reno this season.

The Diamondbacks activated Alexander (oblique/hip) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander initially went on the IL to begin the season due to an oblique strain and more recently suffered a hip injury on his rehab assignment. He's recovered from both injuries now but will remain at Reno rather than join the major-league club.

Alexander (oblique) exited a recent rehab game with a hip impingement but is back in the lineup at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of AZCentral.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander originally landed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, and the more recent hip issue sidelined him for just two days. He could be ready for activation before long, although the 25-year-old isn't a given to join the big-league roster at that time.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
