The Rays recalled Alexander from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The move comes with Tampa Bay placing Zack Littell on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. After he was scratched from his start with Durham on Friday, Alexander will most likely step into Littell's spot in the rotation against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, when the Rays will likely deploy the lefty as a starter or bulk reliever. Alexander owns a 5.20 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 71 innings with the big club this season.
