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.

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).
