The Marlins named Sandy Alcantara their Opening Day starter.
Fantasy Impact
It will be the sixth Opening Day start for Alcantara in his career. After missing the entire 2024 season, he struggled last year to the tune of a 5.36 ERA across 31 starts. He'll be looking to bounce back this year and remains a potential trade candidate at the deadline.
Sandy Alcantara threw his new sweeper for the first time against hitters in a live batting practice session on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Alcantara threw his sweeper around nine times and received positive feedback on it. The pitch should help him generate more swing-and-miss and keep hitters off his fastball. He’s looking to bounce back after posting a 5.36 ERA and 1.27 WHIP last season, his first year back after missing 2024 due to Tommy John surgery.
Sandy Alcantara allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings in Friday's win against the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s performance, Alcantara now holds a 5.36 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 11 wins and 12 losses across 31 starts this season. He finishes the season with 142 strikeouts in 174 2/3 innings.
Sandy Alcantara allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings in Thursday's victory against the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s win, Alcantara now has a 5.48 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with a record of 10-12 across 30 starts this season. Despite the poor season-long stats, Alcantara has been much better in the latter part of the second half. Including this game, he's gone at least six innings in seven straight appearances. During that span, he has a 2.70 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 9.4 K/9. He'll look to keep it going next week against the Phillies.
Sandy Alcantara allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out eight and walking none over seven innings in Friday's win against the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s performance, Alcantara now has a 5.53 ERA and 1.29 WHIP to go with a 9-12 record across 29 starts. He now has 131 strikeouts in 161 innings of work.
