The Astros claimed Alexander off waivers Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Friday but will retain a spot on the 40-man roster with a new organization. Alexander gave up 12 earned runs over six frames in the majors but has a 1.69 ERA in five starts at the Triple-A level this season.
