Blaze Alexander, a key bench infielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks, is dealing with a right oblique strain that could sideline him for several weeks, impacting his availability for Opening Day. As the season nears and with Alexander's absence likely, it raises questions about the team's infield depth. Given the presence of regulars like Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, and Eugenio Suárez, the team may need to rely on alternatives, including potential call-ups from younger players like Jordan Lawlar, who seeks to regain form after injury setbacks last year.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo indicated that infielder Blaze Alexander will be out for weeks due to a right oblique strain, complicating his return for Opening Day.
With less than a month to go until Opening Day, a season-opening trip to the injured list for Blaze Alexander appears likely, necessitating additional preparation for his return.
Despite his injury, Alexander's performance last season as a versatile infielder with a .247 batting average showed he can provide value off the bench when healthy.
Jordan Lawlar, despite his top prospect status, may need more time in the minors to recover from injuries before potentially stepping into a bigger role with the Diamondbacks.
