Twins' A.J. Alexy: Booted off 40-man roster

Alexy was designated for assignment Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

This move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Taylor, who was acquired from the Royals on Monday in exchange for Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk. Alexy appeared in five games for the Rangers in 2022, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and nine walks while fanning six over seven innings of work. He was then traded to the Twins from the Rangers on Jan. 10.
