Alexander will serve as the Rangers' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. The left-hander has plenty of big-league experience as a starter and will make his first start of 2026 on Tuesday. Alexander has been effective out of the bullpen this season with a 2.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB across 21 innings, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two in Colorado, given that he's yet to record more than seven outs in any appearance. Kumar Rocker is expected to follow Alexander as the Rangers' bulk reliever.

Shutout in relief
Alexander went one inning allowing no runs on two hits in a 2-1 loss to the Athletics on Sunday. Once again Alexander pitched a scoreless frame, marking the 12th appearance he has done so to date. The 31-year-old has allowed just one earned run, in tune to his 0.63 ERA, through his first 14.1 innings pitched. The left-hander has been the most efficient and utilized asset out of the Rangers bullpen through 28 games.
Earns second save
Alexander earned the save in Monday's 5-2 win over the Orioles, tossing a clean ninth inning while striking out two. The 31-year-old has converted both of the chances he's had for saves early on in the season. Both Robert Garcia and Chris Martin had pitched two days in a row entering Monday, so Alexander was called upon to record the last three outs in the ninth and was razor sharp, striking out two batters in a three up, three down ninth. The Rangers' closer situation was unsettled coming into the season, and while Alexander's usage so far suggests he's third in the pecking order for high-leverage usage, continued success when he's called upon could change the equation.
