Impact Alexander had been with the Athletics' organization this season until he was DFA'd on Thursday. The 28-year-old went 3-for-17 over six games with the Athletics but posted an .866 OPS with 10 homers, 32 RBI and two stolen bases over 180 plate appearances with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Loses 40-man spot The Athletics designated Alexander for assignment Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact After the Athletics optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Alexander will now be pushed off the 40-man roster a day later with the organization needing to free up a spot for right-hander Michael Kelly (suspension), who was reinstated from the ineligible list. Alexander offers some defensive versatility and has slashed .252/.350/.516 over 180 plate appearances with Las Vegas this season, but since he's an older prospect (28 years old) with a limited track record at the big-league level, it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up clearing waivers.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Alexander to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Since arriving in the big leagues May 23, Alexander has gone 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts across six games. His poor performance will now result in him heading back to Triple-A in favor of Max Muncy, who was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Taking seat Thursday Alexander isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

Impact After making back-to-back starts at first base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (hip) and going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts, Alexander will grab a seat on the bench Thursday. His absence will put Logan Davidson at first base and ninth in the Athletics' batting order.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could pick up time at 1B Manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that Alexander is a candidate to fill in at first base while Nick Kurtz (hip) is on the injured list, Steve Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Before being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Alexander had been slashing .252/.350/.516 with 10 homers and 32 RBI across 180 plate appearances in the minors. Since joining the big club, the 28-year-old has gone 2-for-6 in three games and drew the start at first base during Tuesday's 11-1 loss against Houston. Kotsay also mentioned Logan Davidson as an option to fill in for Kurtz at first base, so Alexander may not have sole possession of the starting job, but that could change if his minor-league numbers translate nicely into the bigs.

Rejoins lineup Wednesday Alexander (undisclosed) will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Alexander exited Monday's game against the White Sox due to an unspecified issue, but his return to the lineup two days later implies he was dealing with just a minor health concern. The 28-year-old is battling for a utility role with the Athletics in spring training.

MARCH 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Monday's game due to injury Alexander (undisclosed) left in the seventh inning of Monday's spring game against the White Sox, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports.

Impact Alexander was subbed into Monday's game at the top of the seventh inning for JJ Bleday, but the former exited the game with an apparent injury shortly after and was replaced by Colby Halter. The nature of the injury should be announced shortly after the conclusion of Monday's contest.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Oakland The Athletics claimed Alexander off waivers Wednesday and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Impact The 28-year-old was reported to have been released by the Royals on Tuesday after being designated for assignment, but the Athletics apparently put in a waiver claim instead. Alexander saw his first big-league action this season with eight games for Kansas City, but he's spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he has a .306/.354/.566 slash line with 17 homers in 83 contests.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Kansas City The Royals released Alexander on Tuesday.

Impact Alexander cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and is now out of the organization. The 28-year-old infielder has slashed .306/.354/.566 with 17 home runs this season at the Triple-A level, so he should be able to find a gig elsewhere on a minor-league contract.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster Alexander was designated for assignment by the Royals on Saturday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Alexander and Austin Nola were bumped to make room for waiver acquisitions Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman. Outside of four appearances with the big club this summer, Alexander has spent the year to date with Triple-A Omaha, slashing .306/.354/.566 with 17 homers and 55 RBI in 83 games. While he's old for the level at 28, his success in the minors this year could land Alexander on another team's 40-man roster.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Omaha The Royals optioned Alexander to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Impact Alexander appeared in four games with Kansas City after being called up June 24 but went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts during that stretch. He'll give up his spot on the active roster for Adam Frazier (thumb), who's being reinstated from the IL.
