Handed 80-game suspension Alvarado has been suspended 80 games by the Office of the Commissioner due to a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarado has been a central part of Philadelphia's bullpen this season, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB over 20 innings while successfully converting all seven of his save chances. His suspension will now take him out of action until mid-August, and Alvarado won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason if the Phillies make the playoffs. Jordan Romano had already started getting more frequent save chances of late, and he'll likely receive even more ninth-inning opportunities with Alvarado out for the foreseeable future.

Picks up seventh save Alvarado retired the final two batters of the ninth inning to collect a save in Friday's win over the Pirates.
Impact The Phillies began the ninth inning with Daniel Robert on the mound in a non-save situation, but after the 30-year-old reliever walked in a run, Alvarado entered the game with an 8-4 lead and the bases loaded with one out. He needed just six pitches to put an end to Pittsburgh's late rally and pick up his seventh save of the young season. He now owns a 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 20 frames.

Needed for save Saturday Alvarado recorded the final out of Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins to pick up his fifth save of the season.
Impact The Phillies took an 11-4 lead into the ninth inning, but Jordan Romano served up two homers en route to giving up six runs in two-thirds of an inning, forcing Alvarado into the game to clean up the mess. The southpaw needed just two pitches to get Xavier Edwards to line out to right field. Alvarado has been dominant to begin the season, going 5-for-5 in converting save chances while posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 9.2 innings. While the Phillies have plenty of high-leverage options in the bullpen, Alvarado appears to have a lock on the closer job for the moment.

Grabs fourth save Alvarado earned the save in Thursday's 6-4 win over San Francisco, allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning.
Impact Alvarado would give up a one-out homer to Tyler Fitzgerald, allowing the Giants to cut the deficit to two, though he'd rebound to close out the victory, improving to 4-for-4 in save chances this year. The left-handed Alvarado now sports a 2.89 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 9.1 innings this season.

Collects third save Alvarado struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Cardinals.
Impact The lefty continued his dominant start to the season. Alvarado has only been scored upon in one of his seven appearances so far, racking up two wins and a hold in addition to his saves along with a 1.23 ERA and 13:2 K:BB through 7.1 innings. While the Phillies' bullpen has a long history of volatility, Alvarado is the team's clear top high-leverage option right now.
