Won't start, but should pitch Wednesday
Alexander is no longer scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers, but he's likely to pitch in bulk relief while Shawn Armstrong serves as the Rays' opening pitcher.
ANALYSIS
Though Alexander operated as a starter his last time out Friday against the Yankees and struck out four over 5.1 scoreless innings, he looks set to appear out of the bullpen for his upcoming turn through the rotation. Working in bulk relief isn't anything out of the ordinary for Alexander, who previously tossed six innings of two-run ball behind Armstrong in an April 14 win over the Giants. The arrangement should put Alexander in better position to be credited with a win, if the Rays are able to come away with a victory in the series finale versus Detroit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rejoining major-league club
Alexander will "almost certainly" be called up soon, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The righty had tough sledding with a 6.03 ERA in his first 31.1 big-league innings this year (eight appearances, five starts) but will get a chance to improve on those numbers in the final month as the rebuilding Tigers play out the string. Alexander's 5.13 ERA for Triple-A Toledo hides useful command peripherals: 9.9 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 in 98.1 innings (20 appearances, 16 starts).

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2016
Alexander was used in a swingman role again in 2022, faring much better as a reliever (1.29 ERA in 10 appearances) than a starter (5.74 ERA in 17 appearances). His strikeout rate bottomed out in both roles at just 14.3 percent, down significantly from his career 20 percent rate which was already below average. The southpaw was sidelined by an elbow injury during the first half but didn't have any issues after returning. Alexander has excellent control and is generally pretty good at avoiding hard contact, but he also has major home run issues which might only be exacerbated by the Comerica Park dimensions changes.
