Sandy Alcantara Tosses Shutout Against the White Sox
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara dominated the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, pitching nine scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and zero walks while allowing just three hits. The 30-year-old right-hander struggled through a down year in 2025 in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, pitching to a 5.36 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 174 2/3 innings (31 starts). However, Alcantara is off to an excellent start in 2026, recording 16 shutout innings with 12 strikeouts while allowing just seven hits and two walks. While Alcantara has never generated a tremendous amount of swing-and-miss, his ability to work efficiently and pitch to contact allows him to work deep into games consistently. Against the White Sox, he needed just 93 pitches to go the distance. Alcantara's first two starts of the season have come against lowly offenses in the White Sox and Colorado Rockies, so he'll face a tougher test in his next start against the Cincinnati Reds. Still, Alcantara's hot start is a welcome sign for fantasy managers who bought low on him coming off a down year.
