Alvarado

Alvarado caught a break when David Hamilton was thrown out stealing after a leadoff single in the ninth. Hamilton was ruled out on the field, and though the replays suggested he got his hand in there, New York upheld the call. Alvarado then walked a batter and gave up an RBI double to Rob Refnsyder to blow the lead. Hogan Harris replaced him at that point and got the win after the A’s scored in the bottom of the ninth. The A’s don’t currently have a reliever worth rostering in mixed leagues.

Alvarado entered with the A’s down 2-1 in the eighth and then remained in after they took a 3-2 lead in the ninth. He walked two. One of those was technically intentional, but it came after a 2-0 count to Ryan Noda. Alvarado, a 26-year-old rookie, was making his 19th appearance for the A’s. and he’s now sporting a 3.04 ERA and a 29/13 K/BB in 23 2/3 innings. He’s about as likely as anyone else to be the team’s closer on any given day, but we wouldn’t go picking him up just yet.

Alvarado is up to replace T.J. McFarland after McFarland was booted off the roster by the A’s. The right-hander provides middle-inning depth while with the club in this stint.

Alvarado is back in the minors with Michael Kelly activated off the suspension list. The right-hander will likely be back as a low-leverage option at some point this summer.

Alvarado has been summoned to fortify the Athletics’ relief depth with rookie starter Gunnar Hoglund hitting the injured list with a hip impingement. The 26-year-old righty has made two appearances this season in the big leagues, allowing three runs over 2 2/3 innings. He’ll operate in middle relief for the Athletics.

Alvarado earns a ticket back to the minors after being hit hard in a pair of relief appearances for the Athletics in his first shot at the highest level.

The 26-year-old hurler registered a 3.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and a 22/4 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings in 14 appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas. He’ll give manager Mark Kotsay another potential weapon to deploy in the middle innings.

A big day of cuts for the A’s, but it’s that time of year. Ruiz is one of the fastest players in baseball, but hasn’t hit enough to put that speed to use. Alvarado, Ginn and Holman will likely help the Athletics’ pitching staff by the end of 2025.

The Pirates signed Alvarado to a one-year deal but chose to designate him for assignment earlier this week to make room for Adam Frazier. Now Alvarado will get a chance to latch on with the Athletics. The 25-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut but did register a 2.79 ERA and a 71/38 K/BB in 48 1/3 innings for the Marlins’ Triple-A affiliate last season.

The Pirates gave the hard-throwing Alvarado a major league deal as a minor league free agent, but now they’re going to put him on waivers and see if anything else wants to take a shot here. The 25-year-old Alvarado has never pitched in the majors. He had a 2.79 ERA and a 71/38 K/BB in 48 1/3 innings for the Marlins’ Triple-A affiliate last season.
