CJ Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.After being called up from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Alexander started at third base in the first two games of the Kansas City Royals' series with the Marlins, going 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts. He'll take a seat Wednesday while Nick Loftin occupies third base, and it's possible the two could be part of a timeshare at the hot corner until Michael Massey is cleared to play the infield again after he served as Kansas City's designated hitter in his first two games back from the injured list.

Braves' CJ Alexander: Out with undisclosed injury
CJ Alexander is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Mississippi with an undisclosed injury.Through his first 11 games at Double-A, Alexander had seven walks and just five strikeouts, but bad luck on balls in play has him sitting with a .143 average. This was an aggressive assignment for the 22-year-old, not because of his age, but because he previously only had 21 games under his belt above rookie ball.
