Blaze Alexander Back in Lineup | Baltimore Orioles News

The Orioles are firing up their offense with a surprise move: Blaze Alexander, back from a hand injury, is batting leadoff in his first game — and sliding into shortstop to rest Gunnar Henderson. At just 27, Alexander brings clutch energy, small-ball savvy, and versatility that’s been vital since his late-April breakout. Acquired from Arizona for depth, he’s now key as the team faces weaker pitching in their next two series. With Pete Alonso heating up and Jackson Holliday leading off, this lineup tweak could be the spark they need to keep rolling.
