Former Dodgers reliever Scott Alexander is heading back to the big leagues, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
The Giants announced they’ve selected reliever Scott Alexander onto the major league roster. Fellow southpaw Thomas Szapucki was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. To create a spot on the 40-man roster, San Francisco recalled left-hander Sam Long from the minors and placed him on the major league 60-day injured list.
Alexander hasn’t pitched in the big leagues in over a year, having been shut down in mid-July 2021 with a shoulder injury.
