Alexander just got his second career save Saturday in the 10th inning against the Phillies after both Chris Martin and Robert Garcia worked in regulation. Now he has three, probably because Martin, Garcia and Cole Winn were all unavailable after working in both games over the weekend. We wouldn’t expect the lefty, who has usually been employed as a swingman, to keep adding to that total with any regularity, but then it’s not like the Rangers have any sure things in their pen.

The deal is now official. Alexander provides the Rangers with a versatile swingman capable of soaking up innings as a traditional starter or versatile reliever. The 31-year-old posted an inflated 4.98 ERA — 3.64 FIP — 1.40 WHIP and 82/30 K/BB ratio across 97 2/3 innings over 52 appearances between the White Sox and Brewers.

Alexander has been removed from Milwaukee’s active roster to make room for veteran lefty José Quintana to return from the injured list. The 30-year-old has posted a lackluster 6.19 ERA across 36 1/3 innings (21 appearances, four starts) this season. He also picked up a three-inning save back on April 20.

Alexander, last seen six days ago giving up eight runs in a start against the Tigers, struck out five in three scoreless frames against an A’s team that barely showed up today. He has a 3.66 ERA in three starts and three relief appearances this season.

Yes, there were some defensive gaffes made in this game, but one of them was made by Alexander, so he can’t yell at his teammates when they’re playing video games later Monday night. The 30-year-old has not pitched well in his last two outings, and there’s very little reason to trust Alexander as a fantasy option. He’s scheduled to face the Athletics over the weekend. You can do better.
