The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Yadier Alvarez from the restricted list and immediately designated him for assignment on Saturday, or one day after the right-hander was scratched from his 2020 Spring Training debut.
Alvarez was scheduled to enter in the eighth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers, though Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained after the loss that didn’t manifest because he couldn’t get loose in the bullpen.
Then on Saturday morning, Roberts said Alvarez had been shut down and was due to undergo medical testing to determine the specifics of his apparent injury. The Dodgers announced the roster move roughly two hours later.
