2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alexander's 2024 season was a bit all over the place. He allowed four or more earned runs in eight of his outings, yet also came within five outs of throwing a perfect game when he took a perfecto into the 8th inning against Toronto on May 17th. Alexander won six games, but five of those came as a bulk pitcher as he won but one of his nine traditional starts. The challenge for Alexander was keeping the ball in the yard as a 1.9 HR/9 rate was a continuation of what got him into trouble in his time with the Detroit organization from 2019 to 2023. Alexander truly needs a bigger ballpark to avoid these risks, so unless he signs with the Giants, it is tough to envision him having any fantasy relevancy until he comes up with something to cure his gopheritis. He did add a sweeper in 2024 and used it as his tertiary offering, while his fastballs (4, 2, cutter) allowed 19 homers. Read Past Outlooks
Non-tendered by Rays
Alexander was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Alexander served as both a traditional starter and multi-inning reliever for the Rays in 2024, posting a 5.10 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 107.2 frames. He should be able to find a bullpen role elsewhere around the league, with the potential to also be a spot starter.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2016
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).
