CJ Alexander is starting at first base and batting seventh for the Athletics on Wednesday.
It seems like Alexander will get the first opportunity to be the primary first baseman in Sacramento with Nick Kurtz on the IL. Alexander, who is a left-handed hitter, was recalled earlier in the week and sat against two lefties over the weekend before getting these last two starts. He was hitting .252/.348/.509 with 10 homers and 33 RBI in 42 games with Triple-A Las Vegas, so he’s not likely to be a fantasy option outside of AL-only leagues.
