Alexander was optioned to the Yankees Triple-A affiliate, where hell act as a left-handed hitting depth option at multiple positions. Most of Alexanders pro experience has come at third base, which is notable given how the hot corner has often been considered a weak link in New Yorks otherwise sterling lineup. has the position locked down for now since is being deployed at second base, and it is po sible the infield situation might resolve itself if LeMahieu can regain any of his old form at the plate. and are ahead of Alexander on the big league depth chart in terms of backup infielders, so Alexander may have a tough time cracking the Yankees roster. The 28-year-old Alexander can also play first base and both corner outfield positions, and he is a left-handed hitter (Peraza, Reyes, and LeMahieu all swing from the right side). A 20th-round pick for the Braves in the 2018 draft, Alexander made it to the Show with the Royals in 2024, and got into another handful of games with the As this year. Alexanders brief time in the majors has resulted in only four hits in 25 plate appearances (for a .320 OPS), but he has hit well at Triple-A, with a .264/.330/.502 slash line and 42 home runs to show for 908 career PA at the top minor league level.
