Jose Alvarado To Throw Live Session Thursday
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies left-handed reliever Jose Alvarado (hand, elbow) had some cramping in both of his hands recently, according to manager Rob Thomson, so the team will wait to send him on a minor-league rehab assignment this week. Instead, he'll throw another live session on Thursday. There is no concern about his left elbow. The 28-year-old was initially expected to begin his rehab assignment on Thursday. Alvarado has been out since early July, but once he starts a rehab assignment, it shouldn't be long before he rejoins Philly's bullpen. When healthy, he's been lights-out for the Phils, posting a stingy 1.38 ERA (2.31 FIP), 1.15 WHIP, six saves and 39 strikeouts in 26 relief innings. Alvarado should return to being in the picture for saves once he's back.
