Phillies' reliever Alvarado rejoins team following PED ban, will be eligible later this month
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies reliever José Alvarado has rejoined the team following an 80-game suspension for violating baseball's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Alvarado was back in Philadelphia before Tuesday night's home game against Baltimore and is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. The Venezuelan left-hander is eligible to return to the big leagues on Aug. 19, but can't pitch in the postseason if the Phillies qualify due to Major League Baseball rules on PED bans. Philadelphia led the NL East by 1 1/2 games over the New York Mets heading into Tuesday's games. 'I am fully aware that using prohibited substances is wrong and I would never intend to do so because I have always had great respect for the game, my organization, my teammates and the fans, all of whom I want to offer my sincere apologies,' Alvarado posted on Instagram. 'I made a mistake and therefore, I have faced the consequences set forth by MLB. Going forward, my focus is on working hard to help the team win.' Alvarado was suspended on May 18 following a positive test for an external testosterone. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the positive test was caused by a weight loss drug Alvarado took during the offseason. The Phillies used several players in the closer role after Alvarado's suspension before acquiring Jhoan Duran in a trade with Minnesota for two top prospects last week. Alvarado had a 2.70 ERA, 25 strikeouts and seven saves in 20 appearances before the suspension. The 30-year-old will lose $4.5 million, half his $9 million salary this year as part of a $22 million, three-year contract he signed in 2023, as a result of the suspension. Alvarado is 19-26 with a 3.40 ERA in 399 relief appearances and one start over nine major league seasons with Tampa Bay (2017-20) and the Phillies (2021-25). He has 52 saves in 68 appearances and appeared in 21 postseason games over the last three seasons.

Two Key Phillies' Futures May Hinge On What Happens Rest of Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies have a lot riding on the rest of the season and the playoffs with several prominent figures. Dave Dombrowski had to set up his manager and roster for postseason success as the Phillies have collapsed in the playoffs early the last few years. Marcus Hayes from The Philadelphia Inquirer believes Rob Thomson's job could be on the line, as well Kyle Schwarber's chances of sticking around after this year. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 07: Rob Thomson #59 and Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies embrace in a game against the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park on April 07, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.... PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 07: Rob Thomson #59 and Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies embrace in a game against the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park on April 07, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More"It will take a deep playoff run to assure the future of manager Rob Thomson, who, after a trip to the World Series, has piloted consecutive playoff collapses," wrote Hayes. "It might take similar postseason success to entice pending free agent Kyle Schwarber to return, regardless of how economical or extravagant his next contract is." Schwarber continues to turn heads as he builds his market value with every game he plays. That doesn't exactly help Philadelphia to get a hometown discount, and an early crash from the playoffs wouldn't help him either. As for Thomson, getting the team to the postseason three years in a row isn't easy, but it's an expectation for Dombrowski. The organization could go in a different direction simply to try and create a bigger spark. "How things go the rest of August and September, and how far the Phillies make it in October, will probably tell the tale for the manager, the second baseman, the third baseman, the designated hitter, the No. 3 starter, the former closer, and one of the setup guys (the good one)," wrote Hayes. Other players such as Bryston Stott and Alec Bohm could be shown the door as well. However, none of the others compare to the impact of losing Thomson and Schwarber if things go south.
