Astros' Jason Alexander: Strong again in fourth win
Alexander (4-1) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Thursday.
Alexander fell short of a quality start for the first time in his four outings in August, but he still did well enough to secure his third win of the month. Dylan Beavers produced both runs for Baltimore with a solo home run in the second inning and an RBI fielder's choice in the sixth. While Alexander has had some inconsistent stretches this year, he's doing all he can to keep a spot in the Astros' rotation with his recent strong play. He's at a 4.59 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB through 49 innings over 12 appearances (seven starts) between the Astros and the Athletics in 2025. Alexander could face additional challenges for a starter role soon, as Lance McCullers (finger) is set to come of the injured list Friday while Luis Garcia (elbow) could follow sometime next week.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Receiving another start
Alexander will start Thursday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Though Houston will get Lance McCullers (finger) back from the injured list to start Friday, Alexander will at least temporarily stick around in a starting role while the Astros run out a six-man rotation this week. Houston could keep the six-man setup in place when the team begins a stretch of 13 games in 13 days Tuesday, but Alexander may need to perform well in his start in Baltimore to ensure he remains in the rotation over Luis Garcia (elbow), who could be ready to return from the 60-day IL next week. Alexander has fared well over his last four starts, logging a 1.59 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 22.2 innings.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Pitches well again Saturday
Alexander completed six innings against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision.
Alexander wasn't able to record a third straight scoreless outing, but he did notch his third consecutive quality start. His six punchouts also tied a season-high mark, and he didn't walk a batter for the first time among his six starts (he's also come out of the bullpen five times). Alexander has impressed in a starting role this season, registering a 2.86 ERA with a 28:11 K:BB across 34.2 innings. The Astros are close to getting starters Lance McCullers (finger) and Luis Garcia (elbow) back from injuries, and despite the recent run of success, it remains to be seen if Alexander will be able to keep a rotation spot when those hurlers return.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Blanks Yankees for third win
Alexander (3-1) earned the win Sunday over the Yankees, allowing one hit and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out three.
Alexander has been stellar of late, turning in back-to-back scoreless outings while allowing just four hits over 12 innings in that span. Overall, the 32-year-old right-hander sports a 5.02 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB across 37.2 innings between the Astros and A's this season. Despite his recent stretch, Alexander could soon be relegated to a bullpen role with Cristian Javier (elbow) slated to rejoin the rotation Monday.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Will start Sunday
Alexander will start in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Even with Cristian Javier (elbow) and other Houston starters nearing a return from the injured list, Alexander will get at least one more turn in the rotation. In five appearances (four starts) with the Astros this season, Alexander has a 2-1 record with a 3.16 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 25.2 innings.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Fires six blank frames for win
Alexander (2-1) earned the win Monday at Miami, yielding three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six scoreless innings.
The 32-year-old right-hander stymied the Marlins lineup in this magnificent 97-pitch performance to tally his second quality start of the season. Miami never threatened to score off Alexander, who allowed just one extra-base hit -- a Graham Pauley double in the third. Across four starts, Alexander has pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB in 22.2 innings. Despite his steady work, he's likely to lose his rotation spot soon as the Astros have starters Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow), Lance McCullers (blister) and Brandon Walter (elbow) all working their ways back from injuries soon.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Fans season-high six in no-decision
Alexander didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
Alexander set a season high in punchouts, though he walked multiple batters in his fifth outing in a row. The 32-year-old right-hander was pulled after tossing 80 pitches, but he was at least able to limit the damage and eat some innings for Houston's injury-plagued rotation. Alexander's next turn tentatively projects for next week in Miami against the Marlins, though it's possible Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) will be ready to come off the injured list by then. Through 25.2 innings, Alexander has a 7.36 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Receiving another start
Alexander will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals in Houston.
Alexander is likely to be optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land or moved to the bullpen once the Astros get one or two of their four rehabbing starters (Spencer Arrighetti, Cristian Javier, Luis Garcia and J.P. France) back from the injured list, but until then, he should maintain a spot in the rotation. The southpaw will pick up his second straight start despite struggling in a loss to the Athletics following his call-up from Triple-A on Thursday, when he was charged with five earned runs on 11 hits and two walks over six innings.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Loses to Athletics
Alexander (1-1) took the loss Thursday against the A's after giving up five runs on 11 hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.
The Athletics were able to consistently generate offense against Alexander, as they scored in all but the first and third innings. The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Thursday and now has a 4.20 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB over 15 frames in three outings with the Astros. Alexander could receive another turn through the rotation next week against Washington given the plethora of injuries Houston's pitching staff is dealing with, but the organization may elect to go in another direction.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Recalled ahead of start
The Astros recalled Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.
Alexander will draw the start in Thursday's home game against the Athletics, and he could earn additional starts with the big club as the Astros navigate a myriad rotation injuries. The 32-year-old's other start for Houston this season also came against the Athletics, and he held them to two runs in six frames. However, the journeyman righty isn't a great bet to put up another quality start Thursday.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Slated to start Thursday
Alexander is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Thursday against the Athletics in Houston, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
With Lance McCullers (finger) landing on the 15-day injured list, Alexander will be brought up from Triple-A to fill the opening in the Houston rotation. The 32-year-old right-hander has excelled over eight appearances (seven starts) with Sugar Land this season, notching a 1.69 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB across 42.2 innings. However, he hasn't had as much success in the majors, posting an 8.40 ERA across 15 innings between the Athletics and Astros. With a respectable showing Thursday, Alexander could be in store for additional turns through the rotation until Houston gets one or two of McCullers, Cristian Javier (elbow), Luis Garcia (elbow) or Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) back from the IL.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Sent to Sugar Land
The Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alexander worked three scoreless innings Friday against the Dodgers to pick up the first save of his MLB career, but he'll be sent back to Triple-A to free a spot in the bullpen for the newly signed Hector Neris. Alexander's 1.72 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in the minors this season, haven't quite translated into big-league success, as he's given up 14 earned runs over 15 innings between the Astros and Athletics.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Secures three-inning save
Alexander allowed two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 18-1 win over the Dodgers.
The Astros' lead was never in doubt, so Alexander had plenty of runs to work with in the blowout win. He spared the rest of the team's bullpen, turning in a 57-pitch outing to earn the first save of his major-league career. He's still at an 8.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB across 15 innings between the Astros and the Athletics this year, though he's been much better in limited action with Houston as a swingman. It's unclear if he'll stay in the majors after his call-up Friday -- either way, he won't be available to pitch at any level for at least a few days.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Back in Houston
The Astros recalled Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday. Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alexander owns a 10.50 ERA through 12 innings in the majors this season, though he's given up just two runs in six frames since joining the Astros organization. He'll come up from the minors to provide length out of the bullpen and replace Jordan Weems, who was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Returns to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
The right-hander made a spot start for Houston on Tuesday and delivered a quality start against the A's with three runs (two earned) allowed over six innings. Alexander picked up his first win since 2022 with the performance, and he should be in the mix for a promotion the next time the Astros need some rotation depth or a long reliever.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Haunts former team Tuesday
Alexander (1-0) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out four over six-plus innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Athletics.
Alexander made four appearances with the Athletics earlier in the season and allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over six innings across four relief outings. He started Tuesday and did a good job of quieting his former team until the seventh inning. Alexander threw just 56 of 95 pitches for strikes and wasn't dominant, but it was a serviceable start for the 32-year-old. It's unclear if he'll stick in the Astros' rotation -- he was called up as a spot starter after Lance McCullers (foot) landed on the injured list Monday, prompting a late shuffle of the team's pitching plans for this week. With off days for the last two Mondays of June, the Astros will likely be able to get by with a five-man rotation moving forward.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Getting start Tuesday
Alexander is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alexander was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Monday's series opener, but after he wasn't needed in relief in Houston's 3-1 loss, he'll end up filling the opening in the Astros' six-man rotation that was created by Lance McCullers' (foot) move to the injured list. The 32-year-old right-hander will be making his first start in the big leagues since 2022, though he's been working out of the rotation or as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen over his nine appearances at the Triple-A level this season. After the Astros claimed him off waivers from the Athletics on May 18 and optioned him to the minors, Alexander delivered a 1.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in 20.2 innings with Sugar Land prior to getting recalled.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Recalled, could start Tuesday
The Astros recalled Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Alexander will be joining the Astros as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Lance McCullers (foot), whom Houston placed on the 15-day injured list. Ryan Gusto will be pushed up a day in the Astros' pitching schedule to start Monday's series opener in Sacramento, but Alexander could be called upon to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics while Houston looks to keep a six-man rotation intact during a stretch of 13 games in 13 days, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The 32-year-old Alexander hasn't made a start in the majors since 2022, but he made four appearances in the majors with the Athletics earlier this season and gave up 13 runs (12 earned) in six innings. Since being claimed off waivers by the Astros on May 18, Alexander has worked out of the Sugar Land rotation and has posted a 1.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in 20.2 innings over four starts.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Claimed by Houston
The Astros claimed Alexander off waivers Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Friday but will retain a spot on the 40-man roster with a new organization. Alexander gave up 12 earned runs over six frames in the majors but has a 1.69 ERA in five starts at the Triple-A level this season.

Athletics' Jason Alexander: Sent back to Triple-A
The Athletics designated Alexander for assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Alexander was lit up for three homers and gave up nine earned runs in 2.1 innings during Thursday's 19-2 blowout defeat against the Dodgers. His dreadful performance will result in him returning to the minors alongside Osvaldo Bido, with Matt Krook and Anthony Maldonado coming up from Las Vegas to replace them.
