Nats have recalled Andrew Alvarez from the minors to start against the Phillies, replacing him with Nathaniel Lowe, who has been limited to mostly facing right-handed opponents. The move comes as a sign that the Nationals are planning to roll with Lowe in the first-base role for the final two months of the season. Alvarez, who hit a combined score of 215/306/.378 with 13 homers and 39 RBI in 356 plate appearances over 102 games this season, is no longer considered fantasy-relevant due to his limited playing time.
