    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies placed left-handed reliever José Alvarado on the restricted list for a personal matter ahead of their game Monday against the Houston Astros.

    The 29-year-old Alvarado has made 56 appearances this season, compiling a 4.30 ERA while striking out 52 and walking 25. He has converted 13 of 16 save opportunities.

    Philadelphia recalled right-handed pitcher Michael Mercado from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Alvarado’s spot on the roster.
