Alvarado returns to the Phillies, as Bohm sits with a strained left han6d.
The Phillies got a huge win on Thursday, coming back from 4-0 down to winning 5-4 after a three-run homer from Brandon Marsh in the 6th, and a two-run, go-ahead homer from Nick Castellanos in the 7th!
Jose Alvarado rejoined his Phillies teammates Friday afternoon, four days after leaving the team to deal with a personal matter.
Alvarado will likely be activated from the restricted list in time for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves.
“He will be here today,” manager Rob Thomson said just before 4 p.m. “He’ll come in today and play catch, probably come in tomorrow and touch the mound a little bit and we’ll probably activate him after the game tomorrow.”
Alec Bohm was out of the Phillies’ lineup Friday, a night after injuring his left hand in his first at-bat against Charlie Morton.
Bohm is dealing with soreness and inflammation in his left hand. X-rays Thursday were negative. Thomson initially feared the dreaded hamate injury.
“I was, that was my initial reaction, but the X-rays didn’t reveal structural damage,” he said Friday.
“There’s a little inflammation in there so we’re just trying to knock that out. We’ll try to do treatment during the game and see if he’s available by the end of it.”
Edmundo Sosa started at third base.
