38 seconds agoMiami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow) has been named the team's Opening Day starter on March 27 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Alcantara missed all of the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery that he had in October of 2023, but he's avoided any setbacks and is a full-go for spring training. While RotoBaller has Alcantara ranked as the No. 46 fantasy starting pitcher going into the 2025 season because of the fact that the Marlins will likely limit his innings this year, his draft stock should continue to rise if he avoids any setbacks in Grapefruit League games and looks more like his pre-surgery self. The 29-year-old had excellent command and control when he won the National League Cy Young in 2022, but don't be surprised if he's not as sharp out of the gates in his return in 2025. Although the upside won't be as high early on, an Opening Day matchup against the Bucs is enticing.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
