Alexander is set to start the Tigers' fifth game of spring training Tuesday against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Alexander is expected to begin the regular season as the team's fifth starter, but veteran Chase Anderson was also added to the mix Monday on a minor-league deal. Alexander has the ability to swing between the rotation and bullpen, though he'd certainly have more fantasy value as a starter. The lefty will be looking to make a good first impression Tuesday in an effort to secure the rotation spot.
