Phillies reliever Jose Alvarado is back on the 15-day IL with left elbow inflammation, the same injury that sidelined him for just over a month from May 7 to June 9.
Alvarado said Sunday morning that the inflammation and swelling are in a different spot this time, more so the forearm area as opposed to the inside of the elbow.
The roster move was retroactive to July 7, meaning Alvarado could return on July 22 at the earliest. He will miss at least the Phillies’ first two series after the All-Star break at home against the Padres and Brewers.Get Philly local news, weather forecasts, sports and entertainment stories to your inbox."It's been lingering for a while but I was able to throw," he said."It's confusing, it's weird.
"When I'm ready to pitch, I don't feel anything. It's weird because I throw hard, everybody sees my velo is normal, everything's consistent. Yesterday there was a lot of swelling. I don't want to push my arm like that. I've got 12 days rest." Alvarado did not seem overly concerned Sunday morning in the visiting clubhouse at loanDepot Park but elbow injuries are always a worry, particularly with a pitcher who throws so hard with as much movement in his delivery as Alvarado, and especially when there's a recurrence this quickly.
