Sat Feb 2415:22Sandy Alcantara Placed On 60-Day Injured List
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (elbow) was put on the 60-day injured list Saturday. The move was made to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly-signed Tim Anderson. Alcantara will miss the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. The recovery time for Tommy John is roughly 14 months, so Alcantara should be ready by the time spring training rolls around next season. The 28-year-old was one of the better pitchers in the game in 2021 and 2022 but took a step back last season, finishing with a 4.03 FIP and 1.21 WHIP. He also struck out batters at his lowest clip since 2019, his first full season in the majors. Coming off a down 2023 and surgery, he might fly under the radar heading into drafts next year and makes for a nice bounce-back candidate.

Fri Oct 6 202318:53Sandy Alcantara Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow), the 2022 National League Cy Young winner, underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday and posted the news on his social-media account. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister. Alcantara will now miss the entire 2024 season. The 28-year-old was shut down in late September due to a UCL sprain in his right shoulder and he has elected to go the Tommy John route and try to return in 2025. The Dominican right-hander wasn't nearly as good for the Fish in 2023 as he was in 2022, going 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over his 28 starts. Alcantara should still be on the radar as a high-end fantasy ace when he returns to Miami in 2025.

Sat Sep 23 202310:04Sandy Alcantara Suffers Setback After Rehab Start
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (forearm) has experienced renewed forearm tightness following Thursday's rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville. This comes as an unpleasant surprise after the right-hander seemed to come away from the outing unscathed, but apparently the UCL sprain in his right arm didn't respond well. Alcantara may be witnessing some wear and tear after racking up over 600 innings pitched since 2021. The 28-year-old is heading back to Miami to determine the next steps, but it's fair to expect him to be out for the rest of the regular season at least. If Alcantara is indeed done, it brings to an end a disappointing follow-up to a 2022 Cy Young campaign with a 4.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 151:48 K:BB in 184 2/3 innings, albeit with three complete games this year. He is likely to be a popular 2024 bounce-back candidate.

Thu Sep 21 202321:46Sandy Alcantara Tosses Four Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) looked good in his minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, tossing four scoreless innings while giving up just one hit, walking none and striking out four. Alcantara is attempting to return to the Marlins after suffering a UCL sprain in his right arm. The Fish are hoping to get the 2022 National League Cy Young winner back in some capacity down the stretch as they push for the final wild-card spot in the NL. With only 10 days left in the regular season, though, Alcantara may not be able to return in a traditional starting role. He only threw 51 pitches during his rehab outing on Thursday.

Thu Sep 21 202312:35Sandy Alcantara To Make Rehab Start Thursday
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) will make a minor-league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Jacksonville. Alcantara threw a bullpen session on Monday and is getting close to rejoining Miami's starting rotation as they look to secure the National League's final wild-card spot. The 28-year-old won the NL Cy Young Award in 2022, but he hasn't been as effective in 2023, going 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over 28 starts. He's attempting to return from a UCL sprain in his right elbow, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be for the Fish down the stretch if he's able to get through his rehab start on Thursday night. Even if Alcantara is able to return in the final 10 games of the regular season, fantasy managers can't expect much.

Mon Sep 18 202316:42Sandy Alcantara Throws Another Bullpen, Hopeful To Return
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) threw 20 pitches in his second bullpen session on Monday and mixed in all of his pitches. When asked if he could return this season, Alcantara said, "Hopefully." The 28-year-old is hoping to make a start or two to close out the 2023 regular season, but he still has some hurdles to clear before returning from the 15-day injured list, mainly facing live hitters. The Dominican starting pitcher won the National League Cy Young in his sixth MLB season in 2022, but he hasn't been quite as good in his seventh season for the Fish in 2023. In 28 starts, Alcantara has gone 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings pitched.

Wed Sep 13 202320:21Sandy Alcantara Diagnosed With UCL Sprain
Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Sandy Alcantara's (forearm) MRI exam revealed a UCL sprain in his right forearm/elbow. Schumaker was non-committal about Alcantara's return this year but noted "watching him throw is a good thing. It's a progression. We're going to watch it every day and go from there." Last year's National League Cy Young winner went on the 15-day injured list a week ago, and chances are he's pitched in his last game of the 2023 season. The two-time All-Star took a step back from his dominating performance in 2022, going 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over 28 starts this year.

Wed Sep 13 202317:00Sandy Alcantara Plays Catch Wednesday
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) was able to play catch on Wednesday. Alcantara landed on the injured list with a right-forearm flexor strain earlier this month, and it remains to be seen if he'll have time to rejoin Miami's starting rotation before the end of the regular season as they chase the final wild-card spot in the National League. Fantasy managers should keep him stashed in all formats, but even if he does return, he might only be able to make one start for the Fish. The 28-year-old NL Cy Young winner in 2022 has gone 7-12 this year with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over his 28 starts.

Mon Sep 11 202321:17Sandy Alcantara Has Not Begun Throwing
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) is currently rehabbing with the team in Milwaukee but he is not ready to begin throwing. Alcantara landed on the injured list on Wednesday with a strained forearm but he is not quite far along enough in his recovery to throw a baseball. Look for the team to update his status in the coming week or so. Alcantara has struggled in 2023, posting a 7-12 record and a 4.14 ERA through 184 2/3 innings of work.

Wed Sep 6 202316:04Sandy Alcantara Placed On 15-Day Injured List
Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara is headed to the 15-day injured list with a right forearm flexor strain. The severity of the ailment is currently unknown but surgery to repair the injury would certainly cost the right-hander significant time into next season. The 2022 NL Cy Young winner took a step back this season, working to a 4.14 ERA across 28 starts while his 4.25 SIERA and diminished 13.5% K-BB% suggest he has indeed regressed from last season when he tossed a 2.28 ERA and 17.7% K-BB%. Considering Alcantara worked to a 3.42 SIERA in 2022, regression was quite inevitable this time around. More information should become available in the coming days but fantasy managers would be wise to prepare for the 27-year-old to be shut down for the remainder of the season.

Sun Sep 3 202310:47Sandy Alcantara Tries To Get Back On Track Sunday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara takes the mound for Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals. The 27-year-old just hasn't been able to get going in 2023, pitching to an ordinary 4.23 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 146 strikeouts over 176 2/3 innings. Alcantara struggled in his last chance versus Washington, surrendering five runs on 10 hits on June 16. The right-hander was awesome a year ago opposing the Nats, however, boasting a microscopic 0.90 ERA with 34 punchouts in 40 frames (five starts) during his Cy Young 2022. Fantasy managers may have a hard time trusting Alcantara on Sunday, but the hard-throwing righty is a strong play in this one.

Sat Aug 12 202310:03Sandy Alcantara Seeking Consistency Versus Yankees
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara takes the hill for Saturday's start versus the New York Yankees. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner carries an uneven 4.28 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 125 strikeouts over 149.1 innings in 2023. However, Alcantara faces a Yankees team in this one that he has dominated for a 1.26 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and 19 punchouts over 14.2 frames (two starts) since 2020. These figures show the 27-year-old's best ERA and WHIP against any club he's made multiple career starts against. The current Yankees roster is also a paltry 3-for-34 collectively versus Alcantara. Season-long fantasy managers should fire up the right-hander in starting lineups with some degree of confidence on Saturday.

Wed Jul 26 202316:43Sandy Alcantara Throws Complete-Game Gem Wednesday
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara tossed a gem in a 7-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Alcantara allowed one run on five hits over nine innings while striking out seven and walking one in the win over a tough Rays team. The veteran hurler notched 19 swinging strikes in what was the first complete game at Tropicana Field since 2018. Alcantara has struggled at times in 2023 after winning the Cy Young in 2022, posting a 4-5 record, 4.46 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 113 strikeouts over 135 1/3 innings of work. He will look to build on Wednesday's performance in his next start, which is set to come against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.

Wed Jul 26 202308:58Sandy Alcantara Making Wednesday's Start
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara will start Wednesday's game against Zach Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays. After winning the National League Cy Young in 2022, things haven't gone as smoothly for the 27-year-old this season. Alcantara has posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 19.9% strikeout rate with just three wins across 20 starts. The 27-year-old is no longer a must-start in standard leagues, but fantasy managers should still expect some positive regression given his 4.00 FIP.

Thu Jun 22 202301:00Sandy Alcantara Tagged For Five Runs Again
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara threw seven weak innings, permitting 10 hits, two walks, and five runs in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The 27-year-old struck out six batters and took his sixth loss of the year. Alcantara's 2022 Cy Young hangover drags on, sacrificing 10 hits and five runs in consecutive outings. The right-hander has also surrendered five runs in three out of four June starts. Alcantara's changeup remains his Achilles heel after registering an MLB-best -25 run value with his go-to pitch last season. The fantasy disappointment carries a 5.08 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:29 K:BB through 95 2/3 innings this campaign. Alcantara looks to solve his drop-off during his next start scheduled on Tuesday against the scrappy Boston Red Sox lineup.

Tue May 30 202311:43Sandy Alcantara Trying To Build On Last Start
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara is taking the hill on Tuesday to start the game against Ryan Weathers and the San Diego Padres. He was solid in his last start, going six strong innings, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in Colorado. Overall, Alcantara's struggled through 10 starts with a 2-5 record, 4.86 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, and has pitched to a 21.6% strikeout rate and 7.6% walk rate. After winning the Cy Young award in 2022 and posting a career 3.25 ERA, Miami's ace is still a must-start, especially against a Padres club with a team OPS of .699.

Tue May 2 202312:11Sandy Alcantara Looking To Get On Track Tuesday
Miami Marlins hurler Sandy Alcantara will take the ball in Tuesday's contest against Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves for his sixth start of the season. The right-hander has pitched to a 5.04 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and one win through 30 1/3 innings. It's a far cry from Alcantara's 2022 season, in which he claimed the Cy Young award with a 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 23.4% strikeout rate with 14 victories. Fantasy managers should trust the 27-year-old's ability and expect better results moving forward, especially given his 3.85 FIP. Alcantara remains a must-start in all formats.

Tue Apr 25 202300:15Sandy Alcantara Throws Bullpen Monday, Should Start Wednesday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (biceps) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Monday and is scheduled to start Wednesday's game at the Braves. Alcantara has been dealing with mild right biceps tendinitis since his last start on April 16. Hopefully, the 2022 National League Cy Young winner will be fully healthy, as he has not gotten off to the start fantasy managers had hoped for. Alcantara has posted a 5.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 19.8% strikeout rate through his first four starts. Not feeling 100% may explain his poor early results.

Sun Apr 23 202313:27Sandy Alcantara Playing Catch On Sunday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (biceps) is expected to play catch on Sunday and then throw a bullpen session over the next few days. If all goes well and he doesn't suffer a setback in his biceps then he is expected to start on Wednesday against the Braves. The former NL Cy Young Award winner was scratched from his start on Saturday due to biceps tendinitis but he's told reporters that it is a minor injury and that he's feeling better at the moment. This is good news for the Marlins and fantasy managers alike as it sounds like Alcantara will avoid the injured list. His status should still be monitored over the next few days, though. The 27-year-old owns an uncharacteristic 5.47 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 20:6 K: BB across 24 2/3 innings so far 2023.

Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Alcantara despite his disappointing start in 2023.
