Blaze Alexander Injures his Knee on Monday
Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander (knee) was pulled from Monday's game early against the Los Angeles Angels with discomfort in his right knee, according to Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Manager Craig Albernaz said that Alexander has a muscle contusion from fouling a ball off his knee, and it locked up on him when he sat down ahead of the third inning. Albernaz said Alexander will be fine, but he could be held out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels. Alexander was hitless in his only at-bat on Monday with a strikeout before Coby Mayo replaced him at third base in the eventual 6-1 win in Anaheim. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. Alexander has been a huge asset for the O's in 2026 in his first year in Baltimore, hitting .310 (53-for-171) with three home runs, 23 RBI, eight stolen bases, and 22 runs scored across 67 games played. He's eligible at second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield in Yahoo leagues and is rostered in 18% of those formats.
