Alexander (hamstring) in nearing a return to the Royals' bullpen, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander logged a scoreless appearance for Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, and he's slated to pitch again Wednesday. Manager Ned Yost was pleased with the 27-year-old's progress, and Alexander should be ready for activation once he passes the back-to-back challenge.
