PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies activated left-handed reliever José Alvarado from the injured list piror to Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alvarado has been sidelined since May 8 with left elbow inflammation. The 28-year-old has allowed one earned run in 14 appearances over 14 ⅓ innings, striking out 24 and walking none. Alvarado recently pitched two innings in two rehab appearances between Lehigh Valley and Reading. Before being injured, he had converted five of seven save opportunities. To make room for Alvarado on the roster, right-handed pitcher Connor Brogdon was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
