In typical Andrew Friedman fashion, the Dodgers made a shrewd move for a solid reliever in January of 2018 when LA acquired Scott Alexander from the Royals in a three-way trade. Last season, Alexander was solid for the Dodgers and filled his lefty specialist role well holding lefties to a .172 average and .460 OPS.
This season has been a different story as left-handed batters are hitting .346 against Scott Alexander with an OPS of .870. On Sunday, Dave Roberts hinted that an IL move could be coming as Scott is dealing with a hip issue.
