Dodgers to select two-time Olympic silver medalist Eddy Alvarez

Alvarez is going to the majors for the first time this season.

He appeared in 36 games with the Marlins from 2020-21, hitting .188/.287/.287 through 115 plate appearances.

Alvarez has played the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and mashed to the tune of a .304/.430/.500 clip.

He’s walked in an excellent 13.4% of his plate appearances and hit five home runs while splitting time between both middle infield spots.

Alvarez took some time off to suit up with the U.S. national baseball team at last summer’s Tokyo Olympics.

He was part of the silver medal-winning club, adding to a silver he’d won in 2014 at Sochi as a speed skater.

Ríos is hitting .244/.293/.500 through 92 plate appearances. He’s overcome a 38:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio by making a massive power impact, blasting seven home runs as a part-time player.
