Phillies move forward without approaching José Alvarado
Denver (AP) – The Philadelphia Phillies stepped in with World Series this season, and José Alvarado was one of the reasons for that optimism. Alvarado was a successful approach this year, but he left a hole in the back of Philadelphia when he was suspended for 80 games by the Major League Bofball on Sunday after a positive test for external testosterone. The suspension was handed over against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night against the Colorado Rockies on a seven games against the Colorado Rockies on the suspension against the Colorado Rockies. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said he did not expect his relievers to change their approach. “Just do your thing and try not to do more than who you are, because I really believe we have enough things in our ‘pen’,” Thomson said. “We do that. Just don’t try to do too much. Throw strikes. Just be yourselves, and we’ll get it right. ‘ Alvarado is 4-1 with a 2.70 era and a prominent seven savings, but Thomson also used the right hand Jordan Romano in the ninth innings. Romano has five savings, Matt Strahm has two and Taijuan Walker One. Other candidates can come forward if Thomson thinks with his bullpen. “We also have to find out about a few other guys,” Thomson said. “Joe Ross has not pitched within eight days, so he has to pitch tonight, and it could be a leverage. The same thing with (José) Ruiz. We have had (tanner) banks in some levers lately, and he has done a good job. ‘ Philadelphia reinforces his cattle to the journey. The Phillies called on the right hand Max Lazar of Triple-A and selected Mick Abel, who won his Big League debut on Sunday with nine strokes against Pittsburgh-a club record for a jar in his first Major League match. Lazar is an option against governments or leftists, Thomson said. “He’s actually very good, and his velocity is really good,” Thomson said. “He throws a lot of strikes, breaking ball was really good, and he’s a neutral split. If we need it, he can pull out left. ‘ Alvarado is eligible to obstruct rainouts to return against Seattle on August 19. He would lose $ 4.5 million this year, exactly half of his $ 9 million salary, as part of a $ 22 million three-year contract. Due to the suspension, he is not eligible for the weekend. Thomson said he would not hesitate to use Alvarado in the ninth innings during the last six weeks of the usual season, although he did not have himself available in October if the Phillies did the playoffs. “If he arrives well, yes,” Thomson said he was using Alvarado as a closer. “We have to get there.” ___
