Alvarez was placed on the bereavement list prior to Monday's matchup against the Dodgers.
Alvarez will be away from the team for a few days in order to attend to a family matter back in the Dominican Republic. While Alvarez is away, manager Buck Showalter will need to find another DH option against right-handed pitchers. One likely scenario would be Matt Wieters serving as the DH, while the recently reinstated Caleb Joseph takes reps at catcher.
