Alvarez was optioned to High-A Palm Beach on Monday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez is being sent back to High-A, as the 22-year-old was never really competing for a roster spot; rather, he was added to the 40-man to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He'll enter High-A for the first time in 2017 after slashing .323/.404/.476 with 36 steals at Peoria in 2016.
