Alexander (shoulder) threw live batting practice Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was placed on the 10-day injured list in early May with left shoulder inflammation and was later transferred to the 60-day IL on June 9. Throwing to hitters Saturday marks a big step forward in his recovery as he continues to eye a return to the Dodgers' bullpen when he becomes eligible to be activated July 5.
