Alexy could be called up from Triple-A Round Rock to start Monday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
This is mostly speculation on the part of Grant, as manager Chris Woodward has not indicated which pitchers are candidates to start Monday. Alexy was held back from a start Friday so that Kohei Arihara could make a rehab start, and he wasn't the starter Saturday either. Texas has multiple starters unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols and may not want to use Jake Latz on four days rest, given he pitched regularly in the minors on a six-day schedule. Woodward would only acknowledge that Latz will not start Monday and declined to name a starter.
