The Tampa Bay Rays have made a roster move as they have claimed left-handed pitcher Tyler Alexander off of waivers from the Detroit Tigers.
Alexander, 29, is a big league veteran with experience across five seasons, all of which have been spent with the Tigers. Detroit originally drafted Alexander in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft. After making his professional debut, Alexander rose to nearly the top of the Tigers prospects ladder, topping out as their 4th best prospect entering the 2017 season according to Baseball America.
The southpaw hurler would make his big league debut during the 2019 campaign.
