2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's been a slow walk through the minors for Alexander, a 2018 11th-round draft pick that parlayed a strong 2022 season at Double-A Amarillo into a spot on the 40-man roster and shot at Triple-A Reno in 2023. He started strong but fractured a thumb in April that sidelined him for two months. The 24-year-old infielder finished with an .865 OPS and .281 average, fueled by a .398 BABIP. The power added in 2022 fell off, which may be attributed to the injury. The pop complemented his flashy fielding and arm (his best tool). As a shortstop by trade, Alexander sits behind Jordan Lawlar and Geraldo Perdomo on the major-league roster. As such, the organization introduced him to second and third base, but the same obstacles exist at those positions. Alexander may best be suited as a utility backup infielder. Read Past Outlooks

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is considering giving Alexander more looks at third base, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
With Geraldo Perdomo (knee) due back in the coming days, Lovullo is evaluating potential roster decisions to accommodate his return. Perdomo's pending return puts a focus on Alexander and Kevin Newman. Alexander, who has made four appearances (two starts) at third base over the last 13 games, went 10-for-21 over a five-game hitting streak that ended Friday. At some point, the Diamondbacks may look for options to spell starting third baseman Eugenio Suarez, whose average has dropped to .198, while he is 2-for-23 over the last seven games.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Diamondbacks elected to move Alexander up to the Double-A level to start 2022 even as he struggled mightily at High-A in 2021. He rewarded them with a big bounce-back campaign, collecting a .927 OPS with 17 home runs and 10 stolen bases before adding another couple dingers in a late-season Triple-A audition. Alexander was then added to the 40-man roster over the winter, putting him on the doorstep of the majors. The 23-year-old would be an option at shortstop for the D-backs should Nick Ahmed deal with more injuries, although Alexander might ultimately profile better as a utility player.
