Angels' Jose Alvarez: Back with Angels

Alvarez is back with the major league club and is on the lineup card for Tuesday's contest with the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

This move likely signals Nick Tropeano's move to the disabled list with a sore elbow that he sustained Monday night. On the year, Alvarez has posted a 4.38 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP during 37 innings with the Angels. He was sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake in early July, but has returned after allowing two earned runs during five appearances in the minors.
