Alvarez has been pitching through an injury. Plus notes on Tom Koehler and David Phelps.
Henderson Alvarez has had success but he has reportedly been pitching through an injury. According to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, Alvarez has been pitching through a UCL injury the Marlins knew about before acquiring him.
Alvarez’s injury will be one to watch. Jon Heyman of CBSsports.com reported Alvarez has been pitching for years with a partial ucl tear in his elbow. I’ve confirmed that, and heard the Marlins were aware of his medical situation when they made their 12-player trade with the Blue Jays after the 2012 season.
