Alvarado was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Alvarado hasn't pitched since delivering a scoreless frame Aug. 7, so it appears he's been dealing with the injury for a few days. It's unclear how long the left-hander is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to return from the injured list Aug. 18.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Moore will likely start Saturday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Unless he's needed in relief during the Phillies' next three games, Moore will step back into the rotation as a replacement for Chase Anderson (triceps), who was placed on the injured list last weekend. Whether working as a starter or long reliever this season, Moore has been hit hard (2.1 HR/9, 1.63 WHIP) and has exhibited poor control (9.4 percent walk rate). Even in NL-only formats, Moore may do more harm than good for fantasy managers.

Brogdon (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Brogdon was dealing with right elbow tightness, but he'll rejoin the Phillies' bullpen after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. Since the start of July, the right-hander has put up a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 11 innings across nine relief appearances.

Feyereisen (biceps) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With Feyereisen completing his second bullpen session in less than a week without issue, he may not be far from progressing to facing hitters in live batting practice. Feyereisen has been on the shelf since July 21 with right biceps tendinitis.

The Orioles optioned Wells to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Wells' stint with the big club lasted just three days before he was cast off the active roster to make room for Tanner Scott (knee), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old rookie made an appearance out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Tigers, giving up a run on three hits while striking out a batter.

Puk, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, fired a perfect sixth inning in an extra-inning win over Cleveland on Tuesday, recording two strikeouts.

The left-hander displayed some encouraging control, firing eight of 11 pitches for strikes. Puk was effective with the Aviators in the weeks before his promotion, pitching to a 1.64 ERA over his last 22 innings, and the hope naturally is he'll be able to carry over that success down the stretch after posting a 5-2 record and 3.18 ERA during his initial big-league stint back in 2019.

The Orioles activated Scott (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Alexander Wells was dispatched to Triple-A Norfolk to clear space on the active roster for Scott, who has been sidelined since July 31 with a left knee sprain. Before his brief stint on the IL, Scott had served as a high-leverage reliever for Baltimore, accruing a 3.95 ERA and 1.49 WHIP while collecting 14 holds over 41 frames. Expect him to immediately re-emerge as a factor for the Orioles in the late innings.

Kittredge (8-1) was credited with the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, firing two scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and struck out five.

The veteran right-hander was exceedingly sharp, throwing 26 of 29 pitches for strikes. Kittredge was rewarded for his efforts with his eighth win courtesy of Francisco Mejia's go-ahead ninth-inning single, and he's now posted eight straight scoreless appearances during which he's generated a 2-0 record, 0.93 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 9.2 frames.

Patino allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while recording seven strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. He didn't factor into the decision.

The runs against the young right-hander all stemmed from home runs, with Hunter Renfroe's fourth-inning blast, which came with two aboard, doing most of the damage. Patino has now gone at least six frames in two of his last three starts, but he's also allowed a pair of round trippers in each of his last two trips to the mound. Now sporting a 4.64 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 42.2 innings, Patino will look for better results and his first win since July 29 when he likely takes the hill early next week.

Suter picked up his first career save in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

With Josh Hader (COVID-19) out of action and both Devin Williams and Brad Boxberger pitching in the first game of the twin bill, manager Craig Counsell turned to Suter for the final four outs of the nightcap and the southpaw delivered. Fantasy players should not count on Suter tallying more than another save or two, but he is still providing value elsewhere, allowing just one earned run in 15.1 innings (0.59 ERA) while racking up three wins and posting a 1.04 WHIP over his last 12 trips to the mound.
