He has a 1.38 ERA.Alvarado dealt with similar inflammation in early May and was sidelined for for weeks.“There’s always concern, but it’s basically the same thing he had before,” manager Rob Thomson said before his team’s series finale against Miami. “Some inflammation in the elbow and just has to calm it down.”The move is retroactive to Friday.Philadelphia recalled right-handed reliever Andrew Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in corresponding move.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource
