💨 Abstract

The Philadelphia Phillies are managing the loss of closer José Alvarado, who was suspended for 80 games due to a positive testosterone test. Manager Rob Thomson remains confident in the bullpen, which includes Jordan Romano, Matt Strahm, and Taijuan Walker. The team called up Max Lazar and optioned Mick Abel to bolster the relievers. Alvarado will miss the remainder of the season and playoffs if the Phillies qualify.
