Sandy Alcantara DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara is not having a ton of success on the mound right now. He took an 8.42 ERA into Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Alcantara threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while striking out eight batters. To be fair, Alcantara didn't pitch that bad as a majority of the damage was done on a three-run home run by Tim Elko. The fact Alcantara struck out eight batters did give fantasy managers some value from this outing. The right-hander will need to figure it out in order for the Marlins to get a decent return on Alcantara, assuming they wish to trade him at the deadline. The right-hander will look to get back on track against the Tampa Bay Rays during his next start.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (2-3) had another brutal start on Tuesday, allowing seven runs over 2 innings in a 15-2 loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alcantara allowed seven hits and five walks while recording just two strikeouts. It's been a horrendous start to the season for the 29-year-old, who now carries an 8.31 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 19:17 K:BB ratio across 26 IP. The walks are up, the strikeouts are down, and Alcantara seems to be off early in the season. Part of that could be him working his way back from Tommy John surgery, which cost him all of the 2024 season. He should be held onto in most fantasy formats because of his upside, but he needs to be on the bench until he performs. Alcantara's next start should come next Monday and will once again be against the Dodgers, making him an easy sit.

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.
