    • Blaze Alexander batting lead-off for Diamondbacks
      Blaze Alexander is making his first start in the leadoff spot in the lineup on Monday, starting at designated hitter against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Jake McCarthy has been hitting lead-off for Arizona over the last week, but he doesn’t play against left-handed pitchers. The last time he sat, it was Ketel Marte who hit lead-off, but today the Diamondbacks will give Alexander a chance. The rookie is slashing .322/.385/.559 with three home runs, 10 runs scored, and 13 RBI in 20 games this season. If he’s now going to also lead-off against left-handed pitching then his value gets another nice little boost. Randal Grichuk is starting for McCarthy in right field and batting sixth against James Paxton. Rotoworld Today, 12:23 pm

    • Takes seat Sunday
      Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Alexander has gone 9-for-24 with five doubles, a homer, nine RBI and four runs over his past seven games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. Kevin Newman will start at shortstop in the series finale at Seattle. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:21 am

    • Doubles, scores in loss
      Alexander went 1-for-2 with a walk, double and run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.

      Advice: Alexander walked with two outs in the eighth inning and came around to score Arizona's lone run on Jake McCarthy's triple. The rookie shortstop has hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-24 with six extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs over that stretch. Alexander's bat has played well, but defense could cost him opportunities. He ranks last among shortstops with minus-7 outs above average and minus-5 runs prevented. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:14 am

    • Trea Turner picks up three hits in win over Padres
      Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in a victory Saturday over the Padres.

      Advice: Turner scored on a pair of hits from Alec Bohm, the first being a two-run homer in the first and the next being an RBI single in the fifth. The 30-year-old has been outstanding over the first 28 games, with his slash of .345/.397/.483 a vast improvement over his scuffles to begin the 2023 campaign. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:22 pm

    • Trea Turner has three hits in win
      Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with a double in a win over the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: Turner hit the ball well on Thursday, with five batted balls that were at least 96.7 mph. It continues a strong start to the season for the shortstop, who’s slashing .336/.388/.477 on the year with two home runs and six steals. As Bryce Harper continues to heat up, he should rack up far more runs scored as well. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:14 pm

    • Blaze Alexander returns to lineup on Wednesday
      Blaze Alexander went 1-for-4 on Wednesday in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: Alexander was back at shortstop for Wednesday’s series finale against the Cardinals following a two-game absence due to right hamstring discomfort. It doesn’t sound like a concern moving forward. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:00 am

    • Logs hit in return
      Alexander started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander returned to the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring. He was moved up to second in the order, as a couple of Arizona regulars were getting a breather. Alexander also committed his fourth throwing error of the season (minus-7 outs above average), although the fielding issues haven't affected his playing time or offense. Alexander is hitting .316/.371/.915 with four doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over 62 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:57 pm

    • Returns to lineup as No. 2 hitter
      Alexander (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander didn't play in either of Arizona's last two contests after leaving Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants with right hamstring cramping, but he'll be back in action for the series finale in St. Louis. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo will tinker with his lineup and move Alexander up to the two hole after the rookie had batted no higher than sixth in any of his previous 13 starts.

    • Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of lineup
      Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander will miss his second straight contest due to a relatively minor right hamstring issue that cropped up over the weekend. The 24-year-old rookie slugger has been outstanding so far in his first taste of the majors with a stratospheric .945 OPS with three homers, 13 RBI and one steal through 18 contests.. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be veteran Kevin Newman drawing another start at shortstop in his absence. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:54 pm
