The Eddy Alvarez era in Los Angeles was an easy one to miss.
On June 3, 2022, his contract was selected from Triple-A when infielder Edwin Rios went down with a right hamstring strain. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers placed Kevin Pillar on the 60-day injured list, ending his time in Los Angeles.
Alvarez played 14 games for the Dodgers in limited duty, was designated for assignment in Aug. 2022, and hasn’t resurfaced in the majors since.
Until Monday.
The New York Mets acquired Alvarez, 34, from the Boston Red Sox for cash.
