On February 18, 2023, Alexander was placed on the 60-day injured list with a strained right rotator cuff.[10] He was activated on July 8 and optioned to Triple–A Nashville.[11] On July 24, Alexander was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to Triple–A.[12] He elected free agency on November 6.
