Sandy Alcantara

Sandy Alcantara allowed seven earned runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Alcantara was extremely dominant through his first three starts, posting a 0.74 ERA entering Sunday’s contest. However, he was tagged for a season-high 10 hits and seven earned runs, raising his ERA to 2.67, though he still owns an impressive 0.86 WHIP. He will look to bounce back in his next scheduled start on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Sandy Alcantara allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six in Tuesday’s 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Alcantara was dominant once again, recording 1-2-3 innings in the first, second, third, fourth and eighth. However, he was pulled in the ninth with one out after allowing a double to Matt McLain and a walk to Elly De La Cruz, and the Reds went on to tie the game before winning in the 10th. Alcantara was just two outs away from becoming the first Major Leaguer in 11 years to throw back-to-back shutouts, and Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough faced significant backlash following the decision to pull him. Through three starts, Alcantara owns a dominant 0.74 ERA and 0.58 WHIP with 18 strikeouts across 24.1 innings. His next scheduled start is on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Alcantara is the first pitcher to record a shutout in the 2026 season and notched the fifth of his career. He has looked like his old self from his 2022 Cy Young campaign, as he has yet to allow an earned run through 16 innings and owns a 0.56 WHIP. He is scheduled to take the mound again on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Sandy Alcantara allowed one (unearned) run on four hits over seven innings in a win with five strikeouts and two walks on Friday against the Rockies.

He got some help from his defense, including a Colorado runner getting thrown out at home plate. He draws another favorable matchup next against the White Sox.

Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara will make one more spring start before pitching on Opening Day for the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Alcantara has returned from the World Baseball Classic after competing for the Dominican Republic. He was named as the team's Opening Day starter on Feb. 13 and will look to bounce back after posting a 5.36 ERA in 31 starts last season, although his 4.28 FIP and 4.38 SIERA suggest he was better than his surface ERA.
