Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Lands on IL with back injury
The Orioles placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with low-back discomfort.
Alexander had to be pulled from Tuesday's game versus the Guardians after his back started acting up on him, and ultimately the issue has forced another IL stint. He just returned from an extended absence less than two weeks ago due to a hand fracture. Jeremiah Jackson is taking Alexander's spot on the active roster.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Battling back spasms
Alexander was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to back spasms, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Alexander went 1-for-3 with a run scored before his back forced him out of the game in the ninth inning. The team hasn't provided any details regarding the severity of his injury, but if the 27-year-old needs to miss time, Jackson Holliday would be next in line to start at second base.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Settling into regular role
Alexander will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Since being reinstated from the injured list Aug. 28, Alexander has now picked up eight starts in 11 games while occupying four different positions during that span. Alexander is hitting .300 since his activation, but all nine of his hits have been singles, and he's provided few counting statistics (three runs, one RBI and one stolen base).

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Resting up Saturday
Alexander isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.
After going 1-for-5 during his first game back from the injured list Friday, Alexander will move to the bench Saturday as the O's look to ease him back into action after missing more than a month. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will man the hot corner and bat fourth.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Returns from IL
The Orioles reinstated Alexander (hand) from the injured list Friday.
Out since mid-July with a fractured left hand, Alexander began a rehab assignment Tuesday and went 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run scored at Triple-A Norfolk. He figures to reclaim a regular starting job in Baltimore's infield now that he's fully healthy, and he'll replace Luis Vazquez on the team's active roster.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Starting rehab assignment
Alexander (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Alexander has fully recovered from the fracture in his left hand that sent him to the injured list in mid-July, but he's now been cleared for game action. It's unclear how many games the 27-year-old will require during the rehab stint, but he could be back with the Orioles within the next week.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: X-rays show fracture has healed
X-rays taken Tuesday showed that Alexander's fractured left hand is fully healed, and he is aiming to rejoin the Orioles' active roster for their series against the Athletics that runs Aug. 28-30, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Alexander will require a rehab assignment first, and that's expected to begin soon. The utility player has been shelved since just before the All-Star break with his hand injury but will be back before the end of this month, if all goes well.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Nearing rehab assignment
Alexander (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Alexander is nearing the final stages of his rehab from a left hand fracture. Depending when exactly the 27-year-old is cleared to begin a rehab assignment, he could be back from the injured list before the end of August.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Hits in cage for first time
Alexander (hand) hit in the batting cage Friday, per MLB.com.
It's the first time Alexander has done so amid his recovery from a fractured left hand. The utility player has been on the injured list since mid-July, but he appears to be trending toward a return to the Orioles at some point in late August or early September.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Plays catch Friday
Alexander played catch Friday for the first time since sustaining a fractured left hand before the All-Star break, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Alexander told reporters after Friday's session that he's hoping to progress to a hitting program next week when the Orioles are in Minnesota for a three-game series against the Twins. Baltimore should have a better sense of Alexander's recovery timeline once he's cleared to take the next step in his recovery. He was in the midst of a strong 2026 season prior to his injury with an .807 OPS, nine steals (in 12 attempts), four home runs and 29 RBI over 244 plate appearances.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: No timeline for return
Alexander (hand) does not have a timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Alexander landed on the IL on Thursday due to a fractured left hand that he sustained against the Royals this past Sunday. The third baseman will undergo weekly checkups on his left hand and will begin physical activity once the bone heals. Coby Mayo is starting at third base Friday against the Astros, and he should see a bump in playing time at the hot corner for as long as Alexander is on the shelf.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Sent to IL with broken hand
The Orioles placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured left hand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The move is retroactive to July 13, as Alexander suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Royals when he was hit by a pitch in the hand. He's likely looking at more than the minimum stay on the injured list. Alexander is enjoying a career year in his first season with Baltimore, slashing .312/.368/.439 with four homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 16:54 BB:K across 246 plate appearances. Alexander has become the Orioles' everyday third baseman. Coby Mayo, Jeremiah Jackson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand could all see extra playing time with Alexander sidelined.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Dealing with hand fracture
Manager Craig Albernaz said Alexander was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left hand after being hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Royals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Alexander went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored before being plunked in the bottom of the seventh inning and being replaced by a pinch runner. It's a brutal development for the 27-year-old, who is now likely to miss at least the next couple weeks after batting .365 (35-for-96) with 10 extra-base hits, three steals, 15 RBI and 16 runs in 32 games since the start of June.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Idle Saturday
Alexander isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Alexander will grab a seat on the bench after going 2-for-4 with a homer and an additional run scored in Friday's victory. His absence will allow Coby Mayo to start at third base while batting seventh.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Goes deep against Kansas City
Alexander went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Orioles' 5-3 win over the Royals on Friday.
Alexander scored on a Gunnar Henderson RBI single in the second inning, with the former tacking on a solo homer in the fourth inning to give Baltimore a 3-2 lead. It was the fourth home run of the season for Alexander and his first long ball since June 21 against the Dodgers. He has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with one steal, three RBI and five runs scored over his last seven games.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Taking reins at third base
Alexander will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
The 27-year-old has been used in a super utility role for the bulk of this season, but Alexander could be settling in as the Orioles' primary third baseman against righties over Coby Mayo. Alexander has garnered five of the past six starts at third base for the Orioles, and 13 of his last 14 starts have come at the hot corner.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Heading to bench Sunday
Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
The 27-year-old had started each of the last three games, but he could shift back into a utility role after Baltimore reinstated two key lineup cogs in Adley Rutschman (concussion) and Dylan Beavers (oblique) from the injured list Sunday. Alexander's last five starts had come at third base, but Coby Mayo could end up seeing the bulk of the time at the hot corner since he'll have fewer opportunities to serve as the designated hitter with Rutschman and Beavers back in the fold.

Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Checking back into starting nine
Alexander will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Alexander exited Monday's series opener due to a right knee contusion and was held out of Tuesday's 5-1 loss, but the day off was apparently all that he needed to move past the minor injury. He'll settle back in at third base, where he appears to have supplanted Coby Mayo as the Orioles' preferred option. Dating back to the beginning of June, Alexander has submitted a .413/.451/.674 slash line with two home runs, two stolen bases, nine RBI and seven runs in 17 games.
