The Astros outrighted Alexander to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.
Alexander passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the 40-man roster. The 33-year-old has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. Alexander posted a 9.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18.1 innings with Houston in 2026.

The Astros designated Alexander for assignment Thursday.
Alexander will end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Jorge Barrosa, who was selected to the active roster Thursday. Alexander has struggled mightily during his time in the majors this, logging a 9.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18.1 innings, and he hasn't been very effective at Triple-A either (5.26 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, 87.1 innings).

Alexander (undisclosed) has struck out eight and allowed four earned runs on eight hits and three walks over eight innings between two appearances for Triple-A Sugar Land since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 30.
The 33-year-old righty was stuck on Sugar Land's IL for about six weeks due to an unspecified injury. Alexander possesses a spot on the Astros' 40-man roster, but he's unlikely to get a look in the big leagues in the near future unless Houston loses multiple starters or long relievers to injury.

Triple-A Sugar Land placed Alexander on its 7-day injured list June 17 due to an unspecified injury.
After the Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A on May 27, the right-hander made two starts before landing on the shelf. He'll likely remain out through the All-Star break, though an official timeline for his return to the Sugar Land rotation has yet to be established. Alexander owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 44 innings at Triple-A this season.

The Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.
Alexander saved the Astros' bullpen Tuesday against the Rangers by managing to go six innings despite allowing eight runs in the opening frame. Nevertheless, he will head back to the minors as Houston adds Logan VanWey to the bullpen.

Alexander (1-1) took the loss against Texas on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
Alexander could have had a very short outing Tuesday, as he gave up eight runs on five hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch in the first inning. To his credit, he remained in the game and at least spared Houston's bullpen, managing to finish six frames on 100 pitches while allowing just one baserunner -- on a solo homer by Evan Carter -- after the disastrous first inning. Still, Alexander's ERA took a big hit and jumped to an ugly 9.33 through 18.1 innings this season. Houston's staff is dealing with multiple injuries, so Alexander could continue to work as a starter, though that may depend on when Lance McCullers (shoulder) is ready to return.
