José Alvarado looked good in his first game action, even though he's not eligible to return to the Phillies' bullpen until Aug. 19.
It's been almost 80 games since the shocking news broke on May 18 that Philadelphia Phillies left-hander José Alvarado had been suspended for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Now that he's back stateside he's working towards an Aug. 19 return, when he's first eligible, per NBC Sports Philadelphia's Bob Cooney.
