As expected, Phillies left fielder Andrew McCutchen (left knee inflammation) has been activated for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Right-handed reliever Connor Brogdon (right elbow tendinitis) will also make his return from the injured list.
In a corresponding move, the Phillies placed left-hander José Alvarado (retroactive to Aug. 8) on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder impingement. They also optioned Damon Jones to Lehigh Valley.
McCutchen suffered the initial injury during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 31.
