Alexander was designated for assignment by the Royals on Saturday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander and Austin Nola were bumped 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 year to date with Triple-A Omaha, slashing .306/.354/.566 with 17 homers and 55 RBI in 83 games. While he's old for the level at 28, his success in the minors this year could land Alexander on another team's 40-man roster.
