Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Back on bench Sunday

Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

The right-handed-hitting Alexander started each of the past three games, but he appears to be viewed as a short-side platoon player, with two of those three starts coming against left-handed pitching. He'll give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop Sunday while the Orioles bring right-hander Dean Kremer to the hill.
