Alexander (shoulder) will face hitters Monday before a decision is made on whether he'll need a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
The veteran southpaw came away from a 20-pitch bullpen session Friday feeling healthy, leading to the decision regarding Monday's bump up in activity level. If Alexander emerges from the live batting practice session setback-free, he could conceivably skip a rehab assignment altogether, given he's only been sidelined since Aug. 20 and wouldn't need to build back up for his relief role.
