Elvis Alvarado Designated For Assignment
3 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates designated right-hander Elvis Alvarado for assignment on Wednesday to make room for newly-signed infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier on the 40-man roster. If Alvarado clears waivers, he could return to the Pirates organization. The 25-year-old Dominican hurler has never appeared in a major-league game and will probably be fighting an uphill battle to get there in 2025. He was in the Miami Marlins' organization last year and made 41 relief appearances between Single-A Jupiter and Triple-A Jacksonville. In his 50 2/3 innings pitched, Alvarado had a solid 2.66 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, a career-high 11 saves, 74 strikeouts and 40 walks. In his six seasons toiling in the minors, he has a 4.25 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 23 saves, 257 strikeouts and 135 walks in 230 2/3 frames over 175 appearances (seven starts).
