Sandy Alcantara Faces Live Hitters On Tuesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow) faced live hitters in a live batting practice session at LoanDepot Park on Tuesday, and according to a source, he was pumping 99 mph on his fastball. It's a notable development, as it represents the first time that Alcantara has faced live hitters since undergoing Tommy John surgery early last October. The 29-year-old continues to progress from elbow reconstruction and will spend all offseason getting up to speed that he can be ready to rock for the start of the 2025 campaign next spring. The Dominican hurler won the National League Cy Young award in 2022 before regressing to a 4.14 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 28 starts last year before having TJ surgery in October. As long as Alcantara doesn't have any setbacks in the offseason or in spring training next year, he'll likely be a sought-after fantasy selection as a high-end bounce-back candidate in fantasy.

Sandy Alcantara To Throw Another Bullpen On Wednesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow) is set to throw another bullpen session on Wednesday after getting through a 40-pitch up-and-down bullpen session last Saturday. Alcantara threw his first bullpen on July 24 that consisted of 20 pitches. He initially felt discomfort in his right arm on his 94th and final pitch on Sept. 3 of last year and was diagnosed with a right-forearm flexor strain. An MRI exam later showed a right UCL sprain that required Tommy John surgery on Oct. 6. The 28-year-old is making slow and steady progress as he looks to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of spring training and the regular season in 2025. Alcantara has already shown the ability to be a fantasy ace after winning the 2022 National League Cy Young in his sixth year in the league. However, fantasy managers will be hesitant to draft him as an ace next spring.

Sandy Alcantara Slated For Third Bullpen Session

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (elbow) is scheduled to throw his third bullpen session at some point while he is with the team during their series in Atlanta against the division-rival Braves this weekend, but the exact date is still to be determined. Alcantara threw his first bullpen session on July 24 in Miami, getting in 20 pitches, and threw a second in Milwaukee last Saturday. The 28-year-old former National League Cy Young Award winner is advancing nicely through his throwing progression from last September's Tommy John surgery, and although he won't back on the mound in 2024 with the last-place Marlins not contending this year, Alcantara is keeping himself right on track to be available in time for spring training in 2025. After a down 2023 campaign to follow up his career season two years ago, it will be interesting to see where Alcantara's ADP will settle in during fantasy drafts next winter.

Sandy Alcantara To Throw A Bullpen On Wednesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. It's a big step for Alcantara, as it will be his first time throwing off a mound since having Tommy John surgery in October of last year. The 28-year-old National League Cy Young winner in 2022 started his throwing program back in March and is just now ready to throw off a mound. Alcantara isn't going to return to the Marlins' starting rotation in 2024, but as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks as he begins building his arm up this fall, he should be ready to roll in spring training and the start of the regular season in 2025. When Alcantara comes back next year, he'll be hoping to bounce back from his disappointing 2023 campaign, when he went 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 151 strikeouts and 48 walks in 184 2/3 innings over his 28 starts.

Sandy Alcantara Playing Catch Off And On

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow), who has been playing catch off and on, was rehabbing with the team on Monday in Kansas City. Alcantara initially felt discomfort in his right elbow on the 94th and final pitch of his Sept. 3 start against the Washington Nationals last year and was diagnosed with a right forearm flexor strain. An MRI later showed a right UCL sprain before he ultimately had Tommy John surgery. Alcantara began a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 21 but shut himself down after experiencing forearm tightness. The 2022 National League Cy Young winner will miss all of the 2024 season, but the good news is that he's been playing catch for months now and should be ready for the start of next year, barring any setbacks.

Sandy Alcantara Placed On 60-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (elbow) was put on the 60-day injured list Saturday. The move was made to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly-signed Tim Anderson. Alcantara will miss the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. The recovery time for Tommy John is roughly 14 months, so Alcantara should be ready by the time spring training rolls around next season. The 28-year-old was one of the better pitchers in the game in 2021 and 2022 but took a step back last season, finishing with a 4.03 FIP and 1.21 WHIP. He also struck out batters at his lowest clip since 2019, his first full season in the majors. Coming off a down 2023 and surgery, he might fly under the radar heading into drafts next year and makes for a nice bounce-back candidate.

Sandy Alcantara Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow), the 2022 National League Cy Young winner, underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday and posted the news on his social-media account. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister. Alcantara will now miss the entire 2024 season. The 28-year-old was shut down in late September due to a UCL sprain in his right shoulder and he has elected to go the Tommy John route and try to return in 2025. The Dominican right-hander wasn't nearly as good for the Fish in 2023 as he was in 2022, going 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over his 28 starts. Alcantara should still be on the radar as a high-end fantasy ace when he returns to Miami in 2025.

Sandy Alcantara Suffers Setback After Rehab Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (forearm) has experienced renewed forearm tightness following Thursday's rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville. This comes as an unpleasant surprise after the right-hander seemed to come away from the outing unscathed, but apparently the UCL sprain in his right arm didn't respond well. Alcantara may be witnessing some wear and tear after racking up over 600 innings pitched since 2021. The 28-year-old is heading back to Miami to determine the next steps, but it's fair to expect him to be out for the rest of the regular season at least. If Alcantara is indeed done, it brings to an end a disappointing follow-up to a 2022 Cy Young campaign with a 4.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 151:48 K:BB in 184 2/3 innings, albeit with three complete games this year. He is likely to be a popular 2024 bounce-back candidate.

Sandy Alcantara Tosses Four Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) looked good in his minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, tossing four scoreless innings while giving up just one hit, walking none and striking out four. Alcantara is attempting to return to the Marlins after suffering a UCL sprain in his right arm. The Fish are hoping to get the 2022 National League Cy Young winner back in some capacity down the stretch as they push for the final wild-card spot in the NL. With only 10 days left in the regular season, though, Alcantara may not be able to return in a traditional starting role. He only threw 51 pitches during his rehab outing on Thursday.

Sandy Alcantara To Make Rehab Start Thursday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) will make a minor-league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Jacksonville. Alcantara threw a bullpen session on Monday and is getting close to rejoining Miami's starting rotation as they look to secure the National League's final wild-card spot. The 28-year-old won the NL Cy Young Award in 2022, but he hasn't been as effective in 2023, going 7-12 with a 4.14 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, 48 walks and 151 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings over 28 starts. He's attempting to return from a UCL sprain in his right elbow, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be for the Fish down the stretch if he's able to get through his rehab start on Thursday night. Even if Alcantara is able to return in the final 10 games of the regular season, fantasy managers can't expect much.
