    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Reinstated from injured list

    The Oakland Athletics reinstated Scott Alexander (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.Left rotator cuff tendinitis sent Alexander to the injured list Aug. 20, and rather than heading to the minors for a rehab assignment, he'll now rejoin Oakland's bullpen following a minimum-length stay. The 35-year-old southpaw has been strong all season, and he's given up just two earned runs over 10 innings since the All-Star break. Joe Boyle was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

    Scott Alexander (shoulder) came away from Monday's live batting practice session feeling healthy, MLB.com reports.The veteran left-hander continued to make steady progress Monday, with the live BP session coming on the heels of a successful bullpen Friday.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Taking next step Monday

    Scott 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.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Looks good in bullpen session

    Scott Alexander (shoulder) threw approximately 20 pitches in the bullpen before Friday's game against the Rangers and looked good, the Associated Press reports.The veteran southpaw was throwing to manager Mark Kotsay, who served as a stand-in for a left-handed hitter and therefore had a first-hand look at how Alexander performed. Kotsay said after the session that he and the training staff would evaluate Alexander's recovery from the activity over the weekend to determine the left-hander's next steps. Given his experience and the fact he's a reliever, Alexander could conceivably return from the injured list without the need for a rehab assignment.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Starting to ramp up activity

    Scott Alexander (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and could face live hitters at some point this week, the Associated Press reports.This is the first report of Alexander picking up a ball since going on the IL on Tuesday with left rotator cuff tendinitis. The veteran southpaw appears to be making timely progress overall, and if he does indeed face hitters this week without setbacks, he could potentially return when eligible without the need for a rehab assignment.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Placed on injured list

    The Oakland Athletics placed Scott Alexander on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left rotator cuff tendinitis.Alexander has been a valuable member of Oakland's bullpen since he made his season debut in late May, and he's thrown 5.2 scoreless frames while striking out seven batters over his last six appearances. He'll now be held out until at least Sept. 2, and the A's will promote J.T. Ginn from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the open roster spot.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Picks up first win Friday

    Scott Alexander (1-2) got the victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk over one inning.Alexander was the first reliever out of the bullpen following JP Sears' impressive six-inning start, and while the former did falter by allowing a Ketel Marte go-ahead RBI single, he was able to limit the damage to that one run. Alexander then became the beneficiary of a three-run eighth-inning rally by Oakland, which gave the A's a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Alexander posted a career-high seven wins with the Giants in 2023, but Friday's victory was his first of this season and came in an outing where he was scored upon for the fifth time in eight appearances.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Saddled with second loss

    Scott Alexander (0-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Twins on Friday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and an intentional walk without recording an out.Alexander's lighting-quick outing resulted in the culmination of the Twins' comeback from a pair of deficits, with the southpaw intentionally putting Carlos Correa on and then conceding a walk-off RBI single on his first pitch to Max Kepler that plated automatic runner Austin Martin. Alexander has now allowed a run in three straight appearances and taken his first two losses of the season in consecutive outings, and he may be kept out of high-leverage situations for the time being as he tries to get back on track.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: Hit with first loss Tuesday

    Scott Alexander (0-1) took the loss against the Padres on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.Unfortunately for Alexander, the one hit he allowed was a walk-off solo home run to Kyle Higashioka, saddling the veteran southpaw with his first loss of the season. Alexander has now allowed an earned run in each of his last two appearances after generating four consecutive scoreless efforts of an inning apiece, but he's still carrying an acceptable 4.00 ERA and stellar 0.67 WHIP across the nine innings covering his 10 appearances.

    Athletics' Scott Alexander: First hold of season Saturday

    Scott Alexander was credited with his first hold in Saturday's win over the Astros, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.Alexander got the final two outs of the eighth, inheriting a one-on, one-out situation from Lucas Erceg and retiring the dangerous duo of Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez on groundouts. The veteran southpaw allowed a solo home run over two-thirds of an inning in his delayed season debut against the Rockies on Tuesday, but he's subsequently fired 1.2 scoreless, hitless frames in his next pair of appearances.
