Alvarez was designated for assignment Friday.
Although Alvarez posted a solid 2.76 ERA over 16.1 innings for the Rangers this year, the other shoe was bound to drop any second. Alvarez walked 14 batters in 16.1 innings and owned an absurd 2.02 WHIP. He was sharp for Triple-A Round Rock (2.33 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 36:10 K:BB over 27 innings), so he may draw some interest on waivers.
