Athletics' Scott Alexander: Reinstated from IL

Alexander (ribs) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Alexander was placed on the 15-day injured list at the end of March with a left rib contusion. The left-hander fired a scoreless seventh inning with a strikeout in his most recent rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas. As a result of Alexander's activation, Tyler Ferguson was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move Tuesday.
