Alexander will start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander has opened six times for the Giants this season and hasn't covered more than 1.2 frames in any of those outings. The left-hander has a 4.06 ERA through 44 appearances on the campaign and is likely good for a handful of outs Monday before giving way to bulk option Sean Manaea.
