Injury Status: Healthy
by Keith Hernandez
The Miami Marlins announced on Friday that they exercised right-hander Sandy Alcantara's $21 million 2027 club option. It was a no-brainer move for the Fish after Alcantara looked more like the pitcher who won the National League Cy Young Award in 2022 before needing Tommy John surgery and missing all of the 2024 campaign. The two-time All-Star struggled to an ERA over 5.00 in 174 2/3 innings across 31 starts last year, but he rebounded in 2026 by going 13-11 with a 3.87 ERA (4.08 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, and 153:59 K:BB in a league-high 214 innings over 36 appearances (a league-high 33 starts). Alcantara also led the league in hits allowed (204) and batters faced (894) in his ninth season in the majors (all but one with Miami). It was nice to see Alcantara bounce back in 2026, but his 17.1% strikeout rate left a lot to be desired in fantasy, and his strikeout rate has been in decline since his 2022 Cy Young season. The 31-year-old will be looking for another strong season in 2027 before he reaches free agency the following winter, and he should be considered a strong No. 2 starter next year.

FANTASY OUTLOOK
Sandy Alcantara 2026 Outlook: Could Rebound Slightly in 2026
The veteran righty made 31 starts in 2025, going 11-12 with a bloated 5.36 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and 142 strikeouts in 174 innings. His xERA was almost a full run lower at 4.58, while his xFIP was 4.19. The fact that he was healthy was a major boon, even if the results differed from his previous ace-like status. Alcantara missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John read more...
The veteran righty made 31 starts in 2025, going 11-12 with a bloated 5.36 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and 142 strikeouts in 174 innings. His xERA was almost a full run lower at 4.58, while his xFIP was 4.19. The fact that he was healthy was a major boon, even if the results differed from his previous ace-like status. Alcantara missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery. Look for Alcantara to make 30 starts again, pitch around 175 innings, and record 150 strikeouts with league-average ratios, despite his low 19.1% K%. The fastball velocity is still in the 91st percentile while also maintaining an excellent ground-ball rate at 46.6%. His current ADP in the 150 range means he is being drafted in the middle of the 13th round in 12-team leagues, making him the 59th pitcher off the board. That makes him a back-end starter for most fantasy teams in 2026.less...
