Alexander was optioned to the Dodgers' secondary training site Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander owns a strong 2.92 ERA in 12.1 innings of relief this season, though it comes with a rather worrisome 9:9 K:BB. The lefty should have a good chance to return to the active roster at some point down the stretch, but he'll make way for Walker Buehler (hand) for now, who returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.
