Alexander will remain stationed at Triple-A Reno as extra organizational infield depth after wrapping up a minor league rehab assignment. There isn’t much of a role for him at the highest level right now, especially with top prospect Jordan Lawlar also pushing for a promotion.

Alexander has gotten a handful of rehab contests under his belt already and figures to be ready to rejoin Arizona’s infield mix at some point next week, if not sooner.

Alexander opened the regular season on the shelf recovering from a Grade 1 right oblique strain. The 25-year-old should only need a handful of games before he’s ready to rejoin Arizona’s injury-depleted infield mix.

Alexander, who was to vie for a utility role, missed essentially the entire spring, so he’ll be due a few weeks in Triple-A before he’s a candidate for the Diamondbacks roster. He might be optioned out once healthy.
