Alvarado (neck) will be on the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alvarado has been limited to a single Grapefruit League appearance due to a neck issue. Previous reports indicated the left was likely to open the season on the injured list, but he's evidently convinced the Phillies that he's ready to go. The team will use a 10-man bullpen to start the year, so they can avoid using him in the first few games if he still needs time to finish building up.
