José Alvarado - 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.

J.T. Realmuto - Getting rest Sunday Realmuto is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact Realmuto will begin on the bench after starting each of the previous two days and going 1-for-7 with an RBI in that span. Rafael Marchan will get the start behind the plate in Realmuto's stead Sunday.

Daniel Robert - Headed back to minors Philadelphia optioned Robert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Impact Robert had just gotten called up Friday and walked three batters while allowing one run on one hit over one-third of an inning against the Pirates that day. The righty reliever will now head back to Triple-A in order to make room on the 26-man roster for Mick Abel, who was summoned to the big club to make his MLB debut as a starter versus Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Mick Abel - Officially promoted to start Sunday The Phillies recalled Abel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Impact It was reported Friday that Abel would be called up to make a start against the Pirates on Sunday, and the transaction is now official. Abel has thrived in Triple-A this season with a 2.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 46.1 innings, but he may be in line for just a spot start with the big club. Though Aaron Nola (ankle) landed on the injured list Friday, Taijuan Walker is expected to re-enter the Phillies' rotation during the coming week.
