According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, reliever Dario Alvarez is due to rejoin the Mets today in Philadelphia.
Alvarez has been battling a groin injury he suffered on September 15 when he apparently pulled it during his follow-through after throwing a pitch.
The lefty reliever has been rehabbing at the Mets complex in Port St. Lucie and has been throwing without any issues in the Instructional League.
Before the injury, Alvarez was being looked at as a possible lefty specialist for the postseason roster, but that ship may have sailed now – at least for the first round and he’ll still have to prove his effectiveness in the remaining five games. Tall task.
