Part 2/7:
Jose Alvarado, an instrumental part of the Phillies' pitching roster, has been suspended for 80 games as mandated by the collective bargaining agreement after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Such a lengthy suspension—equivalent to half a season—means that Alvarado will not only miss a considerable amount of regular-season games but also be ineligible for the playoffs, as per the strict rules set forth.
