Rockies sign LHP Scott Alexander to 1-year deal

The Colorado Rockies signed left-hander Scott Alexander to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

Financial terms were not released by the club but MLB.com reported it's a $2 million deal.

To make room on their 40-man roster, the Rockies designated utility infielder Aaron Schunk for assignment.

Alexander, 35, went 1-3 with a 2.56 ERA in 45 relief appearances last season for the Oakland A's. He missed time with a ribcage injury and shoulder tendinitis.

Alexander is 20-15 with a 3.20 ERA in 328 career games (13 starts) for four teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers (2018-21).

Schunk, 27, made his major league debut last June and batted .234 with two home runs, seven RBIs and 14 runs in 39 games last season. Schunk appeared in 16 games at second base, 13 at third base and another four at shortstop.
