Blaze Alexander was removed from Sunday’s game with a right hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

Alexander reportedly left due to cramping in his hamstring, so it appears he avoided any serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Blaze Alexander went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, two runs scored, and five RBI in the Diamondbacks' overwhelming 17-1 victory over the Giants.

This standout performance underscores a promising start to the season for Alexander, who now boasts a .340 batting average and a robust .424 wOBA through 16 games. His ability to drive in runs, evidenced by his 12 RBI and multiple extra-base hits, makes him an increasingly valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While his strikeout rate sits at 23.1%, his consistent hitting and power potential should keep him relevant, especially in leagues that value slugging percentages and RBIs. Alexander's early-season surge, highlighted by a high .406 BABIP, suggests a potentially high-reward option for fantasy managers looking for infield productivity.
