Jason Alexander - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Recalled, could start Tuesday The Astros recalled Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact Alexander will be joining the Astros as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Lance McCullers (foot), whom Houston placed on the 15-day injured list. Ryan Gusto will be pushed up a day in the Astros' pitching schedule to start Monday's series opener in Sacramento, but Alexander could be called upon to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics while Houston looks to keep a six-man rotation intact during a stretch of 13 games in 13 days, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The 32-year-old Alexander hasn't made a start in the majors since 2022, but he made four appearances in the majors with the Athletics earlier this season and gave up 13 runs (12 earned) in six innings. Since being claimed off waivers by the Astros on May 18, Alexander has worked out of the Sugar Land rotation and has posted a 1.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in 20.2 innings over four starts.

Claimed by Houston The Astros claimed Alexander off waivers Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment by the A's on Friday but will retain a spot on the 40-man roster with the Astros. Alexander gave up 12 earned runs over six frames in the majors but has a 1.69 ERA in five starts at the Triple-A level this year.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Alexander to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Alexander was lit up for three homers and gave up nine earned runs in 2.1 innings during Friday's 19-2 blowout defeat against the Dodgers. His dreadful performance will result in him returning to the minors alongside Osvaldo Bido, with Matt Krook and Anthony Maldonado coming up from Las Vegas to replace them.

MAY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Athletics The Athletics recalled Alexander from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Alexander will return to the big club after T.J. McFarland (adductor) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Alexander has posted a 1.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 21.1 innings in Triple-A as a starter, but he'll likely operate out of the Athletics' bullpen as a long reliever option. He made three major-league appearances before being optioned to Triple-A on April 18, allowing four runs (three earned) over 3.2 innings.

MAY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Alexander to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Alexander permitted four runs (three earned) over 3.2 innings covering three relief appearances during his time in the majors. Jacob Lopez is absorbing his roster spot.

APRIL 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Receives call-up The Athletics selected Alexander's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Alexander will provide length out of the bullpen after the Athletics leaned heavily on their relievers to cover innings during their weekend series at Coors Field. The 32-year-old previously made 18 appearances at the major-league level in 2022 with the Brewers, collecting a 5.40 ERA and 46:28 K:BB over 71.2 frames.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent out of big-league camp The Athletics reassigned Alexander to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Alexander covered 71.2 innings in the big leagues with the Brewers in 2022, but he's pitched exclusively in the minors over the past two seasons and will likely function as organizational pitching depth for the Athletics in 2025. The 32-year-old right-hander is likely to be included in the Triple-A Las Vegas rotation after he turned in a 4.42 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 138.1 innings at the Triple-A level with the Red Sox's affiliate in 2024.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minor-league deal with Athletics The Athletics signed Alexander to a minor-league contract Nov. 15.

Impact Alexander's lone big-league experience came in 2022 with the Brewers, when he posted a 5.40 ERA over 18 appearances (11 starts). He spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Worcester in the Red Sox organization, holding a 4.42 ERA and 129:39 K:BB across 138.1 frames.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Taken off 40-man roster Alexander cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Alexander is now no longer part of the Brewers' 40-man roster. The swingman has missed a large chunk of this season with a shoulder issue, and while he is healthy now, he has just a 5.23 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over 31 innings this year in the minors.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Brewers reinstated Alexander (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact A right shoulder strain forced Alexander to the injured list before the start of the season. His last three rehab starts came in Nashville, and he will remain in Triple-A after surrendering just three runs on 15 hits and four walks while striking out six batters through 15 innings. If he continues at his current pace in Nashville, Alexander could potentially work his way back onto the Brewers as a multi-inning reliever.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning rehab assignment Alexander (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment Friday in the Arizona Complex League, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alexander has been on the shelf since February because of a right rotator cuff strain, but he's finally ready to take the mound again in live games. If all goes well on the farm, the 30-year-old should be an option for the Brewers' pitching staff toward the end of June.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Alexander (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact By placing Alexander on the 60-day IL, the Brewers now have an open spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Wilson, who was signed Saturday. Alexander is expected to be out until the end of May because of right shoulder soreness, and this transaction doesn't change that timeline.

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed left-handed pitcher Justin Wilson to a one-year contract with a club option for 2024 and placed right-hander Jason Alexander on the 60-day injured...

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Brewers' starting-pitching depth has already taken a hit as Aaron Ashby and Jason Alexander will be sidelined for an extended period with injuries Right-shoulder issues have sidelined a pair of pitchers for the Brewers early in spring training.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • JSONLINE.COM

Out with shoulder injury Alexander will be sidelined until around late May due to right shoulder soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alexander's shoulder started bothering him last month when he ramped up his throwing program. It doesn't appear there's concern about any structural damage, but he'll need some down time. If healthy, Alexander could be used in a swingman role for the Brewers this season.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors Alexander was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Matt Bush (illness) heading to the injured list, Alexander will rejoin the Brewers' bullpen for the final two games of the season. Alexander has allowed at least three earned runs in four of his last five appearances, his last coming Sept. 18 against the Yankees, when he allowed three earned runs over 3.2 innings.

OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Brewers optioned Alexander to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Milwaukee is scheduled to return starter Eric Lauer (elbow) from the injured list to take the hill for Friday's game in Cincinnati, so Alexander will end up losing his spot in the rotation and on the 28-man active roster. After being promoted from Nashville on Aug. 22, Alexander made six appearances (four starts) and turned in a 5.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 23 innings.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three runs in no-decision Alexander allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five in 3.2 innings during Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Alexander struggled against the long ball during Sunday's high-scoring matchup, giving up three home runs over the first three innings of the game, including back-to-back solo shots in the top of the third inning. The right-hander has given up at least three runs in four of his last five outings, and he's posted a 6.14 ERA and 20:8 K:BB in 22 innings during that time. He projects to make his next start on the road against Cincinnati on Friday.

AUGUST 31, 2022 • MLB.COM

Called up Monday Alexander was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Impact Alexander was sent to the minors Wednesday but will rejoin the big-league club after Aaron Ashby (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. The Brewers haven't yet indicated what role Alexander will play following his call-up, but it's possible that he serves as a starting pitcher in Ashby's absence. Over 12 appearances (seven starts) in the majors this year, Alexander has posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 48.2 innings.

AUGUST 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down by Milwaukee Alexander was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Alexander made two relief appearances for the Brewers after being called up last week, and he tossed 3.2 scoreless innings. However, he'll head back to the minors after Trevor Kelley was recalled from Nashville on Wednesday.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins major-league club Alexander was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact The 29-year-old was sent to Triple-A in mid-July and will return to Milwaukee after spending a couple weeks in the minors. Alexander has a 5.60 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 23:19 K:BB across 45 innings and should work as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Brewers optioned Alexander to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Impact After making starts in his first two appearances of the month for the Brewers, Alexander was deployed in a bulk-relief role in his final outing before the All-Star break in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He struggled mightily while working out of the bullpen, giving up seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. The Brewers aren't certain to get Adrian Houser (elbow) back from the 15-day injured list by the time the team next requires a fifth starter July 26 versus the Twins, so prospect Ethan Small could be a candidate to get a call-up from Nashville to fill Alexander's spot in the rotation.

JULY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in bulk role Alexander didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 9-5 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five inning...

Impact Alexander was originally tabbed to start Sunday's game, but manager Craig Counsell opted to go with Aaron Ashby instead with Alexander to follow. Ashby surrendered two runs in one plus innings and the 29-year-old was brought in during the second without much better fortune. He was sunk by a five-run third that opened with three straight hits and concluded with four two-out runs, then served up a two-run Brandon Belt homer in the sixth. Alexander has now been tagged for seven runs in two of his last seven appearances and ends the first half with a 5.60 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 23 strikeouts in 45 innings across 10 appearances and seven starts.
