Dodgers' CJ Alexander: Claimed by Dodgers
Rotowire
The Dodgers claimed Alexander from the Yankees on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Alexander joins his third organization of 2025 after starting the season with the Athletics and being designated for assignment by the Yankees on Monday.

Yankees' CJ Alexander: Claimed, optioned by Bronx Bombers
Rotowire
The Yankees claimed Alexander off waivers Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rotowire
The Athletics optioned Alexander to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Since arriving in the big leagues May 23, Alexander went 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts across six games. His poor performance will now result in him heading back to Triple-A in favor of Max Muncy, who was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Athletics' CJ Alexander: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
The Athletics designated Alexander for assignment Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
After the Athletics optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Alexander will now be pushed off the 40-man roster a day later with the organization needing to free up a spot for right-hander Michael Kelly (suspension), who was reinstated from the ineligible list. Alexander offers some defensive versatility and has slashed .252/.350/.516 over 180 plate appearances with Las Vegas this season, but since he's an older prospect (28 years old) with a limited track record at the big-league level, it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up clearing waivers.

Athletics' CJ Alexander: Taking seat Thursday
Rotowire
Alexander isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Toronto.
After making back-to-back starts at first base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (hip) and going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts, Alexander will grab a seat on the bench Thursday. His absence will put Logan Davidson at first base and ninth in the Athletics' batting order.

Athletics' CJ Alexander: Could pick up time at 1B
Rotowire
Manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that Alexander is a candidate to fill in at first base while Nick Kurtz (hip) is on the injured list, Steve Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.
Before being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Alexander had been slashing .252/.350/.516 with 10 homers and 32 RBI across 180 plate appearances in the minors. Since joining the big club, the 28-year-old has gone 2-for-6 in three games and drew the start at first base during Tuesday's 11-1 loss against Houston. Kotsay also mentioned Logan Davidson as an option to fill in for Kurtz at first base, so Alexander may not have sole possession of the starting job, but that could change if his minor-league numbers translate nicely in the bigs.

CJ Alexander: Released by Kansas City
Rotowire
The Royals released Alexander on Tuesday.
Alexander was removed from the 40-man roster and is now out of the organization. The 28-year-old infielder has slashed .306/.354/.566 with 17 home runs this season at the Triple-A level, so he should be able to find a gig elsewhere on a minor-league contract.

Athletics' CJ Alexander: Claimed by Oakland
Rotowire
The Athletics claimed Alexander off waivers Wednesday and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.
The 28-year-old was reported to have been released by the Royals on Tuesday after being designated for assignment, but the Athletics apparently put in a waiver claim instead. Alexander saw his first big-league action this season with eight games for Kansas City, but he's spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he has a .306/.354/.566 slash line with 17 homers in 83 contests.

Royals' CJ Alexander: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Royals designated Alexander for assignment Saturday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Alexander and Austin Nola were bumped from the 40-man roster to make room for waiver acquisitions Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman. Outside of four appearances with the big club this summer, Alexander has spent the season to date with Triple-A Omaha, slashing .306/.354/.566 with 17 home runs and 55 RBI in 83 games. While he's old for the level at 28, his success in the minors this season could land Alexander on another team's 40-man roster.

Royals' CJ Alexander: Playing time dipping
Rotowire
Alexander is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Guardians.
After starting each of the first two games upon his recall, the left-handed hitting Alexander has now been out of the lineup for three straight, and they've all been against righties. Nick Loftin is again handling third base and looks to be the preferred option of the two at the hot corner.

Royals' CJ Alexander: Hitting bench after two straight starts
Rotowire
Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
After being called up from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Alexander started at third base in the first two games of the Royals' series with the Marlins, going 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts. He'll take a seat Wednesday while Nick Loftin occupies third base, and it's possible the two could be part of a timeshare at the hot corner until Michael Massey is cleared to play the infield again after he served as Kansas City's designated hitter in his first two games back from the injured list.

Alexander, 27, has hit .323/.369/.555 with nine home runs this season at Omaha. Though he'll enter the lineup Monday for his MLB debut, Alexander will likely serve as a utility player during his first stint in the big leagues.
