Phillies activate Andrew McCutchen and Connor Brogdon, place José Alvarado on injured list

As expected, Phillies left fielder Andrew McCutchen (left knee inflammation) has been activated for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Right-handed reliever Connor Brogdon (right elbow tendinitis) will also make his return from the injured list.

In a corresponding move, the Phillies placed left-hander José Alvarado (retroactive to Aug. 8) on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder impingement. They also optioned Damon Jones to Lehigh Valley.

McCutchen suffered the initial injury during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 31.
