Alvarez signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old utility infielder will report to Triple-A Worcester as he begins his tenure in the Red Sox organization. Milwaukee cut Alvarez loose over the All-Star break after he slashed .283/.397/.473 with seven home runs and 16 stolen bases across 257 plate appearances at Triple-A Nashville.

The Brewers released Alvarez on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Due to a congested roster in Triple-A Nashville, Alvarez was pushed off the squad after posting a .283/.397/.473 slash line through 257 plate appearances. His impressive stats should be enough to get him another minor-league deal from another organization, though his lackluster MLB history could prevent him from receiving a promotion.

Alvarez was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skye Bolt, Andruw Monasterio, Jon Singleton and Josh VanMeter were also reassigned in this round of cuts from major-league camp in Arizona. Alvarez inked a minor-league contract with Milwaukee in December. He carries a career .183 batting average and .524 OPS in 142 plate appearances at baseball's highest level.

Alvarez signed a minor-league with the Brewers on Saturday which includes an invitation to spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former Olympic speed skater has spent time in the big leagues in each of the last three seasons, but he hasn't made a meaningful impact in any of them. Alvarez has played 50 total major-league games, hitting .183/.262/.262 with one home run and four steals. If he sees any big-league time in his age-33 season, the results will likely be similar.

The Dodgers released Alvarez (undisclosed) on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles elected to move on from Alvarez after designating him for assignment last week. He was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on July 3 but was shut down with an injury less than two weeks later and hasn't played since. Alvarez will likely turn his focus to recovering from his injury before looking to catch on with another organization on a minor-league deal ahead of the 2023 season.

The Dodgers designated Alvarez for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a 40-man roster spot for reliever Heath Hembree, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City in advance of Tuesday's contest with the Mets. After being demoted to Triple-A on July 3, the 32-year-old Alvarez appeared in just four games before landing on Oklahoma City's 7-day injured list due to an unspecified issue. He hasn't played since July 12 and is without a clear timeline for returning to action at Triple-A.

Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Alvarez got into 14 games in June, but he slashed a meager .160/.154/.314 while registering a 33.3 percent strikeout rate over 27 plate appearances. He logged much of his time in the outfield while with the Dodgers, and his opportunity there was likely to end with Mookie Betts (ribs) returning from the injured list Sunday. Alvarez had also lost time recently to Trayce Thompson, who has played well since being acquired by the Dodgers on June 20.

Alvarez isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alvarez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Sunday's win over Atlanta and will retreat to the bench for the fourth time in the last five games. Trayce Thompson is starting in right field and batting ninth.

Alvarez isn't in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alvarez drew three consecutive starts for the Dodgers this week but has lost out on playing time recently. He'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game while Trayce Thompson starts in right field and bats sixth.

Alvarez isn't starting Friday's game against Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alvarez went 1-for-8 with a run, a stolen base and four strikeouts over his last three games and will be held out of the starting nine for a second consecutive matchup. Trayce Thompson is starting in right field and batting ninth.
