Alvarado struck out one while allowing no hits and one walk in a scoreless eighth inning to record a hold Wednesday against Washington.
Alvarado has struggled for most of the year but has finally begun to turn things around as the postseason nears. The southpaw has been scored upon just twice in his last 12 outings, registering at least one punchout nine times during that span. He has a 5.20 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 68:26 K:BB with 16 holds over 55.1 innings.

Alvarado was charged with a blown save Saturday against Toronto, giving up two runs on one hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
With the Phillies holding a 4-2 lead in the eighth inning, Alvarado was unable to bridge the gap to the ninth frame ahead of closer Jhoan Duran on Saturday. It's been a major struggle for the left-hander as a setup man in 2026, as he's worked to a 5.77 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB with 10 holds over 43.2 innings.

Alvarado picked up a hold Sunday against the Mets, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out two in a scoreless seventh inning.
After serving as Philadelphia's closer at one point a year ago, the hard-throwing southpaw has reverted back to a setup role for closer Jhoan Duran in 2026. Through 30 innings, Alvarado has 5.70 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB with nine holds while also registering at least one strikeout in 10 straight outings.

Alvarado earned the save Wednesday against the Padres, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
With Jhoan Duran pitching in four of the previous five days, Alvarado was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning. The left-hander worked around a one-out single by Xander Bogaerts and closed out the game for his first save of the season. It marked Alvarado's first appearance since May 20 after he had allowed runs in three of his previous four outings. The reliever now owns a 5.79 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB to go along with seven holds across 18.2 innings.

Alvarado (back) allowed one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning Thursday against the Cubs. He struck out one.
The hard-throwing left-hander exited Tuesday's meeting with the Cubs due to mid-back spasms, but he needed just one day off to recover and get back on the mound. Although Alvarado has a pitiful 8.64 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB through 8.1 innings, his usage in the ninth frame of a 7-7 game suggests he's right in the mix for save opportunities for at least the next week of action while Jhoan Duran (oblique) is on the 15-day injured list.

Alvarado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs with mid-back spasms, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
Alvarado gave up one earned run on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning before his back forced him to come out of the game. It's unknown if he will have to spend time on the IL, though the Phillies could sit him down for a few days as a precaution, regardless of the severity of his injury.
