Alderman sports a .286/.375/.486 slash line over his last 10 games for Triple-A Jacksonville with two home runs, one steal, eight runs and eight RBI.

The 23-year-old outfield prospect missed about a month of action after suffering a wrist injury in mid-May, but Alderman returned to the lineup for the Jumbo Shrimp on June 16. After striking out eight times in 13 plate appearances during his first three games back, he's quickly regained his form. Alderman has mainly played right field this season while seeing some action in left field and at first base as well, and a big-league debut in the second half remains possible if he keeps his strikeouts in check.

Triple-A Jacksonville placed Alderman on the 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left wrist injury, Michael Germanese of Roundtable.io reports.

The Marlins haven't provided word on the severity of Alderman's injury, but he may have suffered a fractured wrist after he was involved in a collision at first base with a baserunner last Sunday, per FishOnFirst.com. Prior to leaving that game, Alderman smacked two home runs, bringing his slash line up to .303/.376/.526 over 170 plate appearances on the season. The 23-year-old appeared to be building a case for a call-up to the big leagues, but the wrist issue will take a promotion off the table for the foreseeable future.

Alderman (hand) has gone 2-for-13 with two RBI and a run scored in four games since returning from Single-A Jupiter's 7-day injured list Thursday.

Alderman had been on Jupiter's IL all season with a fractured left hand, but he was cleared to join the club last week after completing a five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 21-year-old outfielder slashed .205/.286/.316 with a home run and four stolen bases over 133 plate appearances for Jupiter in his first professional season in 2023.

Alderman is on the 7-day injured list with Single-A Jupiter due to a broken hamate bone in his left hand and should return to action in May, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

The bat-first outfielder slashed just .205/.286/.316 with 39 strikeouts and seven walks in 34 games at Single-A after the Marlins selected him with the No. 47 overall pick last year, so this will be an important year for Kemp to get on track. He turns 22 in August and is limited to corner-outfield and designated-hitter work, meaning Alderman needs to show significant offensive potential in order to profile as a future big leaguer.
