Next steps identified
Alexander, who's been sidelined with a left rib stress reaction, will progress to playing catch as his next step when he's ready, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw was diagnosed in mid-March and didn't receive an initial recovery timetable, so Monday's report provides only marginally more information. Alexander is eventually expected to serve as a veteran left-handed presence in the sixth and seventh innings for the Athletics, acting as a bridge to the likes of Zach Jackson, Dany Jimenez and Mason Miller in the eighth and ninth frames.

2016
Alexander has a role in the Dodgers' bullpen which serves them well --generating groundballs. He has a career 70.9 GB% over six seasons at the big-league level as the league simply struggles to elevate his pitches. Ideally, Alexander would work in a LOOGY capacity, but the league eliminated that role with the three-batter minimum rule which appears to be here to stay, forcing him to pitch to righties. There is an 80-point difference in his OPS vs. lefties (.630) and righties (.710) in his career, so that limits any further upside along with his issue with walks. Worse yet, he has a near-zero K-BB% over the past two seasons which all but negates any future in a high-leverage role. There are better options, even if you're desperate for some holds.
