Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, according to manager Don Mattingly. The Cy Young candidate was originally scheduled to pitch next Wednesday against the Braves, but the team decided to shut him down early. Alcantara ends the year with a 14-9 record, 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 207:50 K:BB ratio over an astounding 228 IP. Alcantara should be one of the first pitchers drafted next year, especially in points leagues where his volume puts him a step above everyone else.
Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) exited Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after appearing to aggravate his right ankle injury. He was removed from Saturday's start after his warmup pitches during the bottom of the fourth inning. The 24-year-old struck out five over three perfect innings before exiting. His issue isn't considered long-term, and he is expected to return before Spring Training starts, but his 2022 season is over. Cabrera owned a 3.01 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 75 strikeouts across 71 23 innings in 2022.
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) is in line to start on Saturday vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. The lanky hurler left his last start early after twisting his ankle while fielding a bunt in the fourth inning against the Nationals. He will most likely be on a pitch count as this will be his final start of the season and the Marlins won't want to push him too hard. The 24-year-old Cabrera owns a 6-4 record, 3.15 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 70:33 K/BB ratio over 68 2/3 innings (13 starts). He's a name to keep an eye on in fantasy drafts next season.
Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez will be in the starting lineup on Friday against Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers. He will hit fifth as the designated hitter for the fish. It will mark the first time Sanchez has been in a major league lineup since August 2. Sanchez has immense potential and can crush the ball, but his strikeout rate is out of control and he hasn't been able to make consistent enough hard contact to make up for it. The big lefty has a .205/.271/.387 slash line this season to go along with 12 homers and a steal. He shouldn't be added outside of the deepest of leagues, but could be someone to watch next season.
Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning on Thursday to propel his team to a 4-2 win over the Brewers. His two-out shot off Freddy Peralta just cleared the right-center field fence for his only hit of the ball game as he finished the game going 1-for-4. The 31-year-old didn't live up to expectations in 2022 by hitting .230 with eight homers, 30 runs, 35 RBI, and four steals through 94 games as he's dealt with injuries nearly all season. At least he can finish out his season on a high note after his late-game heroics, but his stock is trending down heading into the offseason.
