Chicago White Sox
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Alexy was part of the Rangers' return from the Dodgers in the Yu Darvish trade back in July of 2017. The 24-year-old was excellent in his first two major-league starts for the Rangers late in the 2021 season but has struggled to gain his footing since then. Alexy finally landed with the White Sox this offseason after three other stops via the waiver process and he could actually wind up making some starts for a team lacking in rotation depth. Missing bats has never been a problem for Alexy in the minors, but he's also had control issues wherever he's been. Read Past Outlooks
$Waived by the Rangers in December of 2022. Claimed off waivers by the Nationals in December of 2022. Traded to the Twins in January of 2023. Waived by the Twins in January of 2023. Claimed off waivers by the White Sox in January of 2023.
Optioned to Triple-A Charlotte
PChicago White Sox  AAA
March 20, 2023
Alexy was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Alexy made just one appearance in the Cactus League, and he allowed two runs in 0.2 innings of work with two walks. The right-hander will likely see time with the White Sox before the end of 2023 as an up-and-down arm who offers no fantasy relevance.
