Rangers' Eliezer Alvarez: Sent back to Double-A
Alvarez was sent back to Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.
Alvarez was up for just one day and did not get into a major-league game. He was sent right back down when Adrian Beltre (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list. Alvarez is hitting just .196/.290/.299 for Frisco, making him an unlikely candidate for a long-term promotion.

Rangers' Eliezer Alvarez: Heads to majors
Alvarez was recalled from Double-A Frisco on Monday.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, as the 23-year-old hasn't seen any time above the Double-A level in his career. Alvarez's stats with the RoughRiders this season are also less than stellar, as he's hitting just .196 with 35 strikeouts in 107 at-bats. He'll likely fill a reserve role in the big leagues. Drew Robinson (hip) was placed on the disabled list to clear a spot on the active roster for him.

Phillies' Eliezer Alvarez: Dealt to the Phillies
Alvarez was traded to Philadelphia for Juan Nicasio on Wednesday,
Alvarez was a top-20 prospect in the St. Louis system and has received his first taste of Double-A action this season. During 54 games with Springfield, the infielder slashed .247/.321/.382 with four home runs, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases. Moving forward, the 22-year-old should be able to compete at the Triple-A level with Lehigh Valley next season.

Cardinals' Eliezer Alvarez: Rehabbing in GCL
Alvarez (ankle) has two hits in three games on his current rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Cardinals.
The young infielder was sent on assignment on July 18, and although his performance hasn't been fantastic, he also hasn't hit too many roadblocks in terms of health. It's unclear how much longer he'll remain in rookie ball, but it does seem like he'll be back in Springfield within the next couple weeks.

Cardinals' Eliezer Alvarez: Out with high-ankle sprain
Alvarez is on the 7-day DL at Double-A Springfield with a high-ankle sprain and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, Derek Shore of TheCardinalNation.com reports.
He was hitting .231/.324/.341 with two home runs and five steals (on six attempts) in 105 plate appearances prior to the injury. This was a pretty aggressive assignment for Alvarez, as he skipped High-A completely. His 32.4 percent strikeout rate shows that he was having significant growing pains against Double-A pitching, as he had never posted a strikeout rate north of 20 percent prior to this season. The move is retroactive to May 16, so Alvarez could return sometime in early to mid June.

Cardinals' Eliezer Alvarez: Optioned to High-A
Alvarez was optioned to High-A Palm Beach on Monday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
Alvarez is being sent back to High-A, as the 22-year-old was never really competing for a roster spot; rather, he was added to the 40-man to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He'll enter High-A for the first time in 2017 after slashing .323/.404/.476 with 36 steals at Peoria in 2016.

Cardinals' Eliezer Alvarez: Added to 40-man roster
Alvarez was added to the Cardinals' 40-man roster Friday.
Alvarez hasn't advanced past the Low-A level but with five professional seasons now under his belt, he had to be added to the 40-man or else exposed to the Rule 5 draft. The 22-year-old hit .323/.404/.476 from the left side with Peoria in 2016, adding 36 steals in 51 attempts.
