The list of Detroit Tigers rehabbing in Triple-A Toledo is about to grow by one, as left-hander Tyler Alexander is scheduled to throw three innings for the Mud Hens on Monday.
After that, manager A.J. Hinch said, Alexander will take a few days off, and the Tigers will decide then how to proceed with his rehab, while trying to stretch out his stamina.
“At the four-inning mark, we’ll make a decision,” Hinch said. “He’ll get at least a couple of outings in Toledo before we, before we decide what to do.”

Alexander made 15 starts for the Tigers last season, as part of his 41 appearances, then started this season in the rotation when free-agent signee Michael Pineda wasn’t ready for the Opening Day roster.
