Jose Alvarado joining Rays' bullpen on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays reliever Jose Alvarado is expected to join the bullpen on Wednesday night against the Miami Marlins.
Alvarado will be replacing Chih-Wei Hu, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham following Tuesday's contest. It's an impressive rise for the 21-year-old southpaw after he started the 2016 season in Low-A Bowling Green.
While working in Double-A Montgomery this season, Alvarado twirled a 2.38 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 33.3 strikeout percentage across 11 1/3 innings.
