Jose Alvarado Could Throw Another Bullpen Wednesday
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies left-handed reliever Jose Alvarado (elbow) threw a flat-ground bullpen session on Monday, and if he feels OK, he will throw a regular bullpen session on Wednesday. He will throw a second bullpen at some point before facing hitters. The 28-year-old will also require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the Phillies' bullpen. It's unclear if that will come before the end of the team's three-city, 10-game road trip that ends on June 4 in D.C. Alvarado was put on the injured list on May 10 after having posted an excellent 0.63 ERA in 14 appearances while recording five saves in seven chances. He should once again become the team's primary closer once he's healthy.
