Phillies place reliever José Alvarado on restricted list to deal with personal matter
The Philadelphia Phillies placed left-handed reliever José Alvarado on the restricted list for a personal matter ahead of their game Monday against the Houston AstrosAUGUST 26 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michael Mercado - Recalled from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Mercado from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Jose Alvarado, who has been placed on the restricted list as he deals with a personal matter. Mercado was moved to the bullpen at Lehigh Valley after being demoted around the All-Star break and has collected a 2.92 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 12.1 frames covering his last 10 appearances.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Johan Rojas - Losing work with Hays back Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Impact In the wake of Austin Hays' return from the 10-day injured list Friday, Rojas appears to have moved back into a fourth-outfielder role. Rojas will hit the bench for the third time in four games Monday, and the majority of his starts will likely come against left-handed pitching moving forward.

José Alvarado - Goes on restricted list The Phillies placed Alvarez on the restricted list Monday as he deals with a personal matter, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's not clear at this point how long Alvarado will be away from the club. The lefty reliever has had an up-and-down season and has mostly struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 5.40 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 13.1 innings. Michael Mercado is taking Alvarado's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Buddy Kennedy - Moves up to big club The Phillies recalled Kennedy from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact After the Phillies acquired him from the Tigers on June 7, Kennedy was optioned to Lehigh Valley, with whom he produced a .961 OPS over 254 plate appearances before getting a call-up Monday. He'll provide the Phillies with an extra right-handed bat off the bench while Weston Wilson (personal) is away from the team while on paternity leave.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Max Lazar - Rejoins big club The Phillies recalled Lazar from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact Philadelphia optioned Lazar to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club two days later since outfielder Weston Wilson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in the a corresponding move. Lazar will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever while he's up with the Phillies.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Weston Wilson - Goes on paternity list The Phillies placed Wilson on the paternity list Monday.
Impact Wilson will be away from the Phillies for between one and three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The 29-year-old has been with the Phillies since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on July 12 and has produced a 1.017 OPS over 54 plate appearances at the big-league level this season while primarily operating as a short-side platoon player.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kolby Allard - Returns to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Allard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact Infielder Buddy Kennedy will join the Phillies' active roster as a replacement for Allard, who was summoned from Lehigh Valley to make a spot start Sunday. Allard scooped up a win while limiting the Royals to two runs over five innings, and he now owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 18 innings. Though he'll head back to the minors, Allard's solid performance at the big-league level this season likely puts him ahead of Tyler Phillips and Kyle Tyler for a promotion if a rotation spot with the Phillies opens up again at some point.

Kyle Schwarber - Drives in three runs Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.
Impact Schwarber's RBI double in the third inning brought in the first run of the game. He came around to score on an Alec Bohm single and later drove in another pair of runs. Schwarber had gone 13 straight games without multiple hits but has now done so in back-to-back games. He's produced an .868 OPS with 12 extra-base hits this month. Schwarber owns an .845 OPS with 45 extra-base knocks and 82 RBI through 119 games this season.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Garrett Stubbs - Knocks four hits Stubbs went 4-for-4 with a triple, a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Impact Stubbs tripled and scored in the third inning before doubling in a run and scoring again in the sixth. He capped off his big day in the eighth inning with a single and another run scored. It was Stubbs' first multi-hit performance since July 21; in eight games since then, he'd gone 4-for-21 (.190) before breaking the slump Sunday. He's now slashing .216/.310/.281 with six extra-base hits through 158 plate appearances this season.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kolby Allard - Picks up win Sunday Allard (2-0) yielded two runs on eight hits over five innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Royals.
Impact Allard made his first MLB appearance since Aug. 8 and delivered his second straight win. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Bobby Witt and Maikel Garcia but was able to maneuver around the rest of the Royals lineup. Allard has looked solid in his minimal MLB usage this season, posting a 3.50 ERA with a 13:2 K:BB through 18 innings. The Phillies don't have a day off until Sep. 2 so Allard could stick around for another appearance before heading back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
