Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Earns quality start in win
Rotowire
Alcantara (3-2) allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.
Alcantara put plenty of traffic on the bases, but just two of the hits he allowed went for extra bases. The Marlins did their part in giving him plenty of run support, and the right-hander emptied the tank with 108 pitches (75 strikes). This was his fourth quality start of the year and his first win in four outings. Alcantara is at a 3.05 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB over 41.1 innings across six starts. He struggled at times in 2025 in his return from Tommy John surgery, but he's looking to be back in his pre-surgery form now, aside from a diminished strikeout rate (5.9 K/9). His next start is projected to be a tough one on the road against the Dodgers.
Brewers' Brice Turang: Drives in three runs Saturday
Rotowire
Turang went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and two walks during the Brewers' 5-2 win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Turang gave the Brewers a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning when he smacked a two-run long ball off Sandy Alcantara, and the former brought home Joey Ortiz on a single in the sixth. It was Turang's fifth multi-hit game of the season, three of which have come over his last six outings. He is slashing .299/.434/.582 with six steals (on eight attempts), four home runs, 14 RBI and a 16:19 BB:K across 84 plate appearances this season.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Control issues in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Alcantara (2-2) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and six walks while striking out one batter across five innings.
Alcantara struggled with his command during Saturday's outing, resulting in multiple batters reaching base safely in four of five innings. He escaped a bases-loaded situation unscathed in the third but gave up his first run in the fourth before yielding a three-run homer to Brice Turang in the fifth frame. Alcantara had as many walks against Milwaukee as he did across his first four starts of the regular season. It was also the first time he did not complete the sixth inning this year, and he now sits with a 3.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 35.1 innings. Alcantara will look to snap out of his two-game losing streak in his next start, which is slated for next weekend on the road against the Giants.
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Rocked for seven runs in first loss
Rotowire
Alcantara (1-1) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.
On the heels of dominating the Rockies, White Sox and Reds in each of his first three starts, respectively, Alcantara floundered in perhaps his toughest test of the season so far. It was the eighth time in the right-hander's career that he was knocked around for double-digit hits, and he surrendered at least seven runs for the eighth time in his career. Despite Sunday's hiccup, Alcantara still boasts a 2.67 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB through 30.1 innings ahead of his next start versus the Brewers.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Goes 8.1 innings against Cincinnati
Rotowire
Alcantara (2-0) didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts across 8.1 innings.
Alcantara fired eight shutout innings and had a 2-0 lead going into the top of the ninth. He got TJ Friedl to fly out before Matt McLain doubled and Elly De La Cruz walked, putting the tying run on base. With closer Pete Fairbanks on paternity leave, manager Clayton McCullough brought on Anthony Bender to try and secure the save, but Bender allowed a sacrifice fly, walked Eugenio Suarez and then allowed the tying run to score on a wild pitch. Alcantara missed out on a 3-0 start to the season and will carry a microscopic 0.74 ERA and 18:4 K:BB across 24.1 innings into his next start on the road against the Tigers on Sunday.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Goes distance in dominant display
Rotowire
Alcantara (2-0) pitched a complete game shutout Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing three hits and striking out seven without walking a batter.
The right-hander produced his second career Maddux, needing just 93 pitches (69 strikes) to blank Chicago. Alcantara has enjoyed a favorable start to the season with matchups against the Rockies and White Sox. However, the star right-hander has made the most of the opportunity by allowing one unearned run on seven hits and two walks while fanning 12 across 16 innings over those two outings. Alcantara will try to continue his excellent start to the season in his next turn through the rotation, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Reds at home next week.
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Sharp in win over Rockies
Rotowire
Alcantara (1-0) allowed an unearned run on four hits and two walks over seven innings in Friday's 2-1 win over Colorado. He struck out five.
The veteran right-hander didn't give up an extra-base hit in an impressive effort to begin the season, firing 49 of 73 pitches for strikes. Alcantara struggled early last season in his return from Tommy John surgery, but he seemed to turn a corner in August, posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB over his final eight starts and 53.2 innings in 2025. He seems to have carried that form into 2026, and his next outing lines up to be a clash with the White Sox at home next week.
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Fans six in final spring outing
Rotowire
Alcantara gave up three runs on five hits over 4.2 innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. He struck out six without walking a batter.
The right-hander tossed 56 of 86 pitches for strikes in his final spring tuneup. Alcantara wraps up camp with a 5.68 ERA over 12.2 innings, but he gave up only one home run and sported a 16:2 K:BB, much more encouraging signs. The 30-year-old is set to take the mound Opening Day at home against the Rockies as he looks to rebound after a disappointing return from Tommy John surgery in 2025.
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: On track for Opening Day
Rotowire
Alcantara allowed two runs on three hits and one walk over four innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. He struck out five.
The veteran righty built up to 70 pitches (46 strikes) as he continues to get ready for an Opening Day assignment March 27 against the Rockies. Alcantara topped out at 97.2 miles per hour with his four-seamer on a first-inning strikeout of Jorge Polanco and was comfortably maintaining 96 mph in his final inning of the day, further suggesting he's not far away from being in midseason form -- he averaged 97.7 mph with the pitch in 2025. Through eight spring innings, Alcantara has a 10:2 K:BB and 0.88 WHIP, but an unlucky 5.63 ERA.
