A.J. ALEXY NEWS

Cut loose by Pale Hose The White Sox released Alexy on July 1.

Impact Alexy made nine appearances (four starts) in the majors with the Rangers between the past two seasons, but he never reached the big leagues with the White Sox, who picked him up on a waiver claim in January. The 25-year-old right-hander struggled to a 12.00 ERA and 2.57 WHIP in 21 innings at Triple-A Charlotte this season prior to being cut loose.

Sent outright to Triple-A Alexy was sent outright to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alexy is now off the 40-man roster. The right-hander has struggled mightily in four appearances with Charlotte in 2023 with a 15.30 ERA and ugly 10:18 K:BB over 10 innings of work. He'll provide organizational depth as long as he remains a member of the organization.

Lit up in spring debut Alexy (oblique) made his spring debut in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers in Cactus League play, retiring two batters while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks.

Impact Though Alexy appears to have moved past the left oblique issue that first popped up earlier in this month, his poor showing in his debut won't help his chances of breaking camp as a member of Chicago's Opening Day roster. Alexy still has a minor-league option remaining, and if demoted to Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season, he could fill a spot in the affiliate's rotation.

Slowed by oblique issue Alexy has been delayed by a left oblique issue this spring but could appear in a game by the end of the week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alexy was claimed off waivers by the White Sox in late January. In 30 innings for the Rangers over the past two seasons, he owns a 23:26 K:BB and a 6.30 ERA. He's likely ticketed to open the year in the Triple-A rotation or possibly as a long reliever at the major-league level.

Claimed by South Siders off waivers The White Sox claimed Alexy off waivers from the Twins on Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Alexy was booted off the Twins' 40-man roster last week after Minnesota acquired outfielder Michael Taylor. The right-hander appeared in five games for the Rangers in 2022 while allowing nine runs in seven innings. The White Sox may look to continue developing the 24-year-old as a starter, but the bullpen likely represents his most realistic path to seeing big-league action in 2023.

Booted off 40-man roster Alexy was designated for assignment Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact This move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Taylor, who was acquired from the Royals on Monday in exchange for Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk. Alexy appeared in five games for the Rangers in 2022, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and nine walks while fanning six over seven innings of work. He was then traded to the Twins from the Rangers on Jan. 10.

Headed to Minnesota Alexy was acquired by the Twins from the Nationals on Tuesday in exchange for Cristian Jimenez.

Impact Alexy has bounced around from the Rangers to the Nationals and now to the Twins over the last month. The right-hander struggled both at the minor- and major-league level in 2022, but he's just 24 and has some bat-missing ability. Alexy also has an option remaining, which surely appealed to the Twins.

Loses 40-man spot The Nationals designated Alexy for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Claimed off waivers from the Rangers on Dec. 13, Alexy lasted less than a month on Washington's 40-man roster before ceding his spot to newly signed first baseman/designated hitter Dominic Smith. Assuming he passes through the waiver wire this time around without being scooped up by another organization, the 24-year-old right-hander should still get the opportunity to attend big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee while attempting to stake his claim to a back-end rotation spot for the rebuilding Nationals.

Claimed off waivers Alexy was claimed off waivers by the Nationals on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Alexy had been designated for assignment for the Rangers last week to make room on the 40-man roster for Andrew Heaney. The right-hander has struggled during his time in the majors and also last year at Triple-A Round Rock, but he has some swing-and-miss ability.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Texas Alexy was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Alexy appeared in only four games for the Rangers last season and had a 5.91 ERA across 96 innings for Triple-A Round Rock. He was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Andrew Heaney, who joined Texas on a two-year, $25 million contract.

Called up Monday Alexy was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Impact Alexy served as the 29th man during a doubleheader against the Marlins on Sept. 12, and he allowed four runs on a hit and three walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning during an appearance in the twin bill. He was sent to the minors afterward, but he'll be available for the major-league club over the final few days of the regular season.

Earns win in MLB return Alexy (1-0) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one over 2.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win over the Twins on Monday.

Impact Alexy made his first appearance since being called up late last week. He's shifted to a long relief role after being groomed as a starter. The results have been slightly better since the transition -- 4.57 ERA out of the bullpen compared to 6.86 as a starter -- but it's uncertain if the 24-year-old right-hander will remain a reliever.

Back in big-league bullpen Alexy was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact He made one appearance in the majors this season in mid-July, giving up three earned runs with more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) in two innings against the Mariners. Alexy, who should work in low-leverage situations, has a 6.27 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and an 87:47 K:BB in 84.2 innings at Triple-A.

Sent down by Rangers Alexy was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact Alexy made his first major-league appearance of the season Friday against the Mariners and allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two in two relief innings. The 24-year-old recently transitioned into a relief role in the minors and will likely continue to work out of the bullpen in Round Rock following his demotion.

Makes MLB debut as reliever Alexy allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two over two-plus innings in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Alexy, who was recently shifted from starter to reliever in the minors, made his bullpen debut for the Rangers. He made it through the sixth and seventh innings unscathed but left a bases-loaded, none-out mess in the eighth inning for Jose Leclerc, who ceded a grand slam to Julio Rodriguez. The Mariners averaged an exit velocity of 96 mph with an expected batting average of .413 on balls in play off Alexy.
