Fantasy Impact:
Alvarado was handed an 80-game PED suspension in May and is eligible to return on Aug. 19. Phillies skipper Rob Thomson said the left-hander has been throwing. Alvarado posted a 2.70 ERA in 20 outings prior to his ban and will be a big addition to the Phillies' bullpen as they hunt down an NL East title.
