Fantasy Impact

Alexander made a spot start for the Astros on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs while striking out four across six innings. After this solid performance, look for the Astros to use him when they need another spot start or as a long reliever.

Jason Alexander (1-0) picked up the win for the Houston Astros on Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks over six-plus innings. The 32-year-old right-hander struck out four batters and threw 56 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Alexander was making a spot start after being called up Monday.

Fantasy Impact

The spot start was necessitated by an injury to Lance McCullers (foot). Tuesday's performance was a turnaround from Alexander's time with the Athletics earlier this season, where he allowed 12 earned runs over six innings in four relief appearances. His spot in the Astros' rotation going forward is unclear, as the team has off days for the last two Mondays of June.
