With scoreless appearances in a game apiece for the Florida Complex League Marlins and Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos, Alexander pitched to a 1.84 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 5 games (4 starts) for Jacksonville.[5] He elected free agency following the season on November 7.[6]

Milwaukee Brewers

On November 19, 2021, Alexander signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers organization.[7] He was assigned to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds to begin the 2022 season.

Alexander was promoted to the Major Leagues on June 1, and made his debut later that day.[8][9] In 2022 in Triple-A he was 8–2 with a 2.84 ERA in 63.1 innings.

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]
