Jose Alvarado Reinstated From Injured List
1 year agoThe Philadelphia Phillies reinstated left-handed reliever Jose Alvarado (elbow) from the 15-day injured list on Monday and optioned right-hander Luis Ortiz to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson was also optioned to Lehigh Valley after Sunday night's game. Alvarado hasn't pitched since July 6, but he should rejoin the team's late-inning bullpen mix immediately. The 28-year-old Venezuelan southpaw gave up just seven runs (four earned) while walking nine, striking out 39 and securing six saves in 26 innings before his injury. Alvarado is still worth rostering in fantasy leagues for strikeouts and holds, but he's probably unlikely to see many save chances with Craig Kimbrel cementing himself as the team's go-to closer.
