| 8/26/24 | Phillies place José Alvarado on restricted list to deal as he deals with personal matter. The Phillies placed left-handed reliever José Alvarado on the restricted list Monday, saying he left the club to deal with a personal matter, the team announced. Right-handed pitcher Michael Mercado was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Alvarado's spot on the 26-man roster. The 29-year-old Alvarado made 56 relief appearances in the 2024 season, converting 13 of his 16 save opportunities with a 4.30 ERA with 52 strikeouts to 25 walks. Alvarado has held the 65 batters he's faced to a .131/.185/.246 (.431 OPS) slash line, walking only one player since April 13 -- a left-handed batter.

| 8/07/24 | Michael Mercado, pitching well in the Lehigh Valley, shoots for another chance with Phillies. Michael Mercado grew up watching Tigers standout Justin Verlander start games throwing 92-94 mph, then unleash his 100th pitch seven or eight innings later near 100 mph. Mercado cheered for Detroit and was motivated by Verlander's incredible feats to become a major league pitcher. The 25-year-old Mercado realized his dream June 24 with a 1-2-3 eighth inning for Philadelphia in — as fate would have it — Detroit. The San Diego high school product picked up a victory in his first MLB start at historic Wrigley Field and made two other appearances before being sent back to the IronPigs with a plan for the rest of this season.

The 25-year-old will make his first major league start at Wrigley Field when the Phillies visit the Cubs.

Mercado gets to join the best staff in baseball. Source: https://www.trentonian.com/2024/06/29/de-george-su... |
