2024 Fantasy Outlook
Alcantara endured a down 2023 campaign with a 4.14 ERA in 28 starts before going down with a UCL sprain in early September, and he underwent Tommy John surgery a month later. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner will in all likelihood be sidelined until 2025 given the elbow procedure's typical 12-to-18 month recovery timeline. Read Past Outlooks
Still limited to playing catch
Alcantara (elbow) was spotted playing catch in Oakland on Saturday during the Marlins' series versus the Athletics, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alcantara has been able to play catch for about two months now and is presumably increasing the distance and frequency of his throwing, but the Marlins haven't indicated when he might be ready to toss bullpen sessions. Regardless, after he underwent Tommy John surgery on October 6, 2023, the Marlins aren't counting on Alcantara contributing at any point in 2024. The Marlins' focus remains on getting the 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner back to 100 percent for the start of spring training next year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not being dealt
Miami will not listen to trade offers for Alcantara, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off winning the 2022 NL Cy Young award, Alcantara received some reassurances that he will continue to pitch for Miami next season. The team is willing to listen to offers on other starters but not its ace. The 27-year-old agreed to a five-year, $56 million contract extension with the Marlins before the 2022 season and will make a combined $15.6 million over the next two seasons before seeing a big salary bump in 2025. There's no reason for Miami to move Alcantara in a deal, as he has an affordable salary and is one of the most durable and productive arms in the sport.

2016
Alcantara reached the pinnacle in 2022, winning the National League Cy Young Award while literally lapping the field with six complete games. He continued to pump the four-seam and sinker in at 97-98 mph, though it was the changeup that he threw more than any other pitch last season (34.4 Whiff%). Technically his strikeout rate was only a little above average, but when you subtract walks (K-BB%), he ranked top 20 among qualifiers. Alcantara led baseball by a sizable margin with his 228.2 innings during the regular season and he's the only pitcher in the game to clear the 200-inning threshold each of the past two seasons. A certain portion of the fantasy community will fade Alcantara on principle alone coming off a career year, and it's not crazy to be reluctant about paying the new sticker price in drafts, but Alcantara has to be considered among the safest pitchers on the board from a workload standpoint.
