	Jose Alvarado gave up one hit while striking out two in a scoreless bottom of the ninth during Wednesday's 3-0 over the Padres. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Thu, May 28th	Tyler Alexander earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning to close out Texas’ 3-2 win. It marked his second save in as many days after he had gone nearly three months without a save opportunity. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th
	Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he would like to stay away from Jose Alvarado on Wednesday. Ari Koslow Wed, Apr 22nd	Tyler Alexander worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in Texas’ 7-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a strikeout while filling in after Jacob Latz and Jakob Junis had each pitched on the previous two days. Bruno Mulé Sun, Jun 28th
		Tyler Alexander will open for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Marlins. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 22nd
		The Rangers entered the season with an unsettled closer situation, and Alexander has been the third option in high-leverage usage behind Robert Garcia and Chris Martin. With both Garcia and Martin having pitched two days in a row entering Monday, Alexander was called on to close out the ninth inning against Baltimore. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 31st
