"Alexander, 29, has a limited major league track record. He has 25 plate appearances over 10 games with four hits, all singles. He has not drawn a walk and has been struck out 11 times. He has had better showings in the minors, particularly in 2024, when he slashed .302/.361/.559 in Triple-A for a 130 wRC+. But his 2025 was a bit of a swoon, as he slashed .254/.335/.448 in the minors for a 91 wRC+."
"Even if his offensive contributions are muted, Alexander can provide defensive versatility, as he has experience at all four corner spots. The Royals designated Alexander late in 2024, at which point he was claimed by the Athletics. He lasted on that roster until June of 2025, before going to the Yankees and Dodgers via subsequent waiver claims. The Dodgers passed him through waivers in July and he became a free agent at season's end."
CJ Alexander signed a minor-league deal with the Astros and was assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land, with a chance to be invited to big-league spring camp. The 29-year-old has only 25 major-league plate appearances, recording four singles, no walks and 11 strikeouts. He produced stronger Triple-A production in 2024 (.302/.361/.559, 130 wRC+) but regressed in 2025 (.254/.335/.448, 91 wRC+). Alexander offers defensive versatility across all four corner positions and bats left-handed. He moved through multiple organizations via waivers in 2024-25 and finished the season as a free agent. His most realistic path to MLB playing time is corner outfield depth.
