Blaze Alexander Out With Knee Contusion Against Angels
Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander (knee) is sitting out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest in Anaheim against the hosting Los Angeles Angels, per MLB.com. Alexander left the series opener on Monday with a right-knee contusion after fouling a ball off his leg, so it's not a huge surprise that he's not starting a day later. For now, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider the super-utility man to be day-to-day. Coby Mayo is making the start at third base for the O's on Tuesday and will bat fifth against Angels right-hander Ryan Johnson. The 27-year-old Alexander has been thrust into a much bigger role than expected in 2026 in his first year in Baltimore due to the season-ending elbow injury to Jordan Westburg. He has taken advantage of the opportunity, too, hitting .310 (53-for-171) with three home runs, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in his 67 games played. Alexander doesn't come with much pop at the plate, though, and his most attractive quality may be his multi-position eligibility in fantasy, as he's eligible at second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield.
