Jose Alvarado To Throw Live Session Thursday
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.
