Tyler Alexander News
The Tampa Bay Rays have claimed pitcher Tyler Alexander off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. The left-hander was designated for assignment by the organization earlier this week. It appears the Rays are willing to give him a chance as a possible swingman option. Last season, Alexander registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.11 WHIP with 44/5 K/BB ratio over 25 games with the Tigers. The 29-year-old has been both a starter and relief pitcher during his time in the MLB. There's a good chance that the Rays attempt to have him do both as part of their staff next season.
According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, Detroit Tigers reliever Tyler Alexander (back) won't need surgery. An MRI revealed the 28-year-old suffered a partial lat tear. However, Chicago-based specialist Dr. Anthony Romeo stated the injury can heal without surgical intervention. Alexander has appeared in 25 games, logging a 2-1 record with a 4.50 ERA and 44 strikeouts. While he still won't be back this season, the news could have been worse.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tyler Alexander (elbow), who is close to returning from a left elbow sprain that put him on the injured list on May 2, will return as a multi-inning reliever. "Watching the video the other day," manager A.J. Hinch said, "(pitching coach Chris Fetter) and I were talking about how getting him more game action is probably going to be more important than stretching him out to 60 or 70 pitches." The 27-year-old will toss two innings for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday and then another two innings on Tuesday. The Tigers are hoping to make a decision on his status by June 10. In four starts before landing on the injured list, Alexander had a rough 8.76 ERA and 1.78 WHIP while striking out nine and walking five in 12 1/3 innings.
