Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski explained that the positive test was caused by a weight loss drug that Alvarado consumed during the offseason.\n\nAs a result of his suspension, Alvarado is not eligible for the postseason.\n\nAt the time of the suspension, he had a 4-1 record with an ERA of 2.70 and seven saves, generally performing as the team&#8217;s closer. The Phillies acquired closer Jhoan Duran from Minnesota at the July 31 trade deadline, and he has dominated in that role since then.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Alvarado&#8217;s injury is quite minor, but enough to put him on the injured list.
