The Phillies announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Walker Buehler and placed left-hander Jose Alvarado on the 15-injured list, moves which were previously reported. Alvarado's injury wasn't specified in that earlier reporting but the Phils announced it as a left forearm strain, retroactive to September 11th. The severity is still unclear. To open a 40-man spot for Buehler, righty Matt Manning has been designated for assignment.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star and World Series champion Walker Buehler has been released by the Boston Red Sox, the team announced. Buehler is now free to join any team in a shocking turn of events. If Buehler joins a team before Sept. 1, he will be eligible for the postseason. More news: This story will be updated...

At the end of the day, it's just one bad outing, albeit at a difficult stretch in the season for the team. Giolito spoke with Yahoo Sports about how he wants to contribute to the Red Sox after all the time off. "Last year, you know, Netflix was here, all this stuff's going on, and I'd be around, and it's like, 'I'm on the team' ... but I'm not. I haven't done s***."
