Miami Marlins starting pitcher
Sandy Alcantara didn't have a ton of success during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. He retired the first nine batters he faced before running into trouble in the fourth inning. Alcantara struggled allowing four runs over the next few innings. He would finish his day with four earned runs on five hits while walking four batters across 5 1/3 innings of work. Alcantara was given enough run support to earn the win, but it wasn't a pretty start from him. The hope is that Alcantara will get back on track against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his next start.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher
Sandy Alcantara (personal) is scheduled to take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He was previously scheduled to start last Sunday, but the game against the Atlanta Braves got rained out and then he was placed on the paternity list earlier this week. Alcantara likely would've taken the ball on Monday, but he went on the paternity leave list. He's back now, so fantasy managers can pencil him in to take the mound versus the Nats this weekend. Alcantara has a 3.72 ERA, 0.93 WHIP with 11 strikeouts across two starts this season.
UPDATE: Alcantara was reinstated from the paternity list on Thursday.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Daniel Alvarez-Montes

Sunday's contest at Truist Park between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves was postponed due to inclement weather, pushing right-hander
Sandy Alcantara back. Alcantara also will not start in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets at Citi Field, as he and his wife expecting a baby girl. He will fly back to Miami on Sunday and will be placed on the paternity list on Monday. The 29-year-old will be away from the team for a few days and won't be able to take his next turn in the starting rotation until later this week, most likely for a series with the division-rival Washington Nationals back in Miami next weekend. Miami's starter for Monday's game in New York is TBD at the moment. The Dominican hurler has a 3.72 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 9 2/3 innings in his first two starts after missing all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that "no innings limit is set on
Sandy Alcantara." There have been various reports floating around this spring that Alcantara will be on an innings limit in 2025 after he missed all of last year due to Tommy John surgery. However, Alcantara said on Saturday night that he wasn't aware of any innings limits, and now the team's new skipper has confirmed that. While fantasy managers may still want to temper expectations for the 29-year-old after the long layoff, the news that he won't be held back at all will surely cause his ADP to rise before your league's draft day. That is especially true after the Dominican hurler has looked electric this spring, allowing no runs in his three starts (5 2/3 innings) while striking out five and walking two. The two-time All-Star has ace potential and won the National League Cy Young in 2022 with a 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 207 K's.
