The lefty reliever pitched a scoreless outing on June 8 against the Colorado Rockies and did not pitch against until June 18 when he sustained the hamstring strain against the Los Angeles Dodgers. June had been a weird month for Alexander. This includes an excellent 63.9 percent ground ball rate. Alexander has posted a 3.52 ERA, 3.69 FIP, 0.95 WHIP, 4.3 K/9, and a 2.20 SO/W ratio in 27 appearances for the Giants this year. Similar to Rogers, Alexander got off to a slow start but his numbers had been steadily improving as the season progressed. Overall, Rogers has posted a 2.86 ERA in 28.1 innings. The 32-year-old reliever got off to a disastrous start, but he has been excellent since then. On a related note, Rogers has had a very nice first half of the year with the Giants. In Alexander's absence, Taylor Rogers had been the only late-inning bullpen arm from the left side. The return of Alexander gives Giants manager Gabe Kapler another left-handed reliever in high-leverage spots. Only the New York Yankees have tallied a better bullpen ERA (2.77 ERA) during that time.
Since May 1, it has been even better than that with a 2.93 ERA. The Giants bullpen has quietly been a strength lately as it has posted a 3.86 ERA in 2023, which ranks as the 11th-best mark in baseball.

He had been on the injured list since the middle of June after sustaining a hamstring strain. Prior to Tuesday's game, the SF Giants activated veteran reliever Scott Alexander from the injured list.
