Dodgers' Eddy Alvarez: Contract selected by Dodgers

Alvarez's contract was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

He has played shortstop, second base and left field at Triple-A and is hitting .304/.430/.500 with five home runs and three steals in 43 games. This move gives the Dodgers some infield depth following Edwin Rios landing on the injured list with a hamstring tear. Alvarez has minor-league options left, so he could be sent back to Triple-A once Max Muncy (elbow) is activated.
