SANDY ALCANTARA NEWS

Rejoins active roster The Marlins reinstated Alcantara (personal) from the bereavement list ahead of Sunday's game against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact According to McPherson, Alcantara was seen throwing a side session Sunday, so the Marlins presumably won't look to him to eat innings in the series finale, which Miami is treating as a bullpen game. Instead, Alcantara will likely slot back into Miami's rotation for Tuesday's series opener in Baltimore for what would mark his second start since the All-Star break.

Lands on bereavement list Alcantara was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alcantara had been scheduled to start Wednesday in Washington. The Marlins have yet to announce who will start in his place. Players may spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, so it's possible Alcantara's next start is merely delayed by two days, though he could also wind up missing a turn or two in the rotation.

Impact All three runs came in the first inning. Bryce Harper doubled with two outs, the next two batters walked and Travis Jankowski hit a broken-bat, bases-clearing double just inside the first-base bag. Alcantara needed 80 pitches to get through the three frames. This was his second-shortest start of the year, and it only raised his ERA to 3.23. Alcantara tentatively lines up to start Wednesday in Washington.

Short outing against Dodgers Alcantara (5-8) allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across four innings to take the loss Thursday against the Dodgers.

Impact Alcantara held the Dodgers in check through three innings, allowing only one walk and one single. He surrendered an unearned run in the fourth inning but came undone in the fifth frame by surrendering four consecutive singles before being pulled. While it was far from Alcantara's best outing, he kept the ball in the yard and issued only one free pass. Even with the poor outing, he has a 3.09 ERA with 102 strikeouts across 116.2 innings for the season.

Stifles Atlanta in win Alcantara (5-7) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and four walks over six innings in a 3-2 victory over Atlanta. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander battled his control and threw 62 of 99 pitches for strikes, but Alcantara compensated by giving up little hard contact as all five Atlanta hits were singles. The quality start was his 13th in 18 trips to the mound, and he'll take a 2.96 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 97:33 K:BB through 112.2 innings into his next outing.

Starting Saturday Alcantara will start Saturday against Atlanta instead of Sunday as previously scheduled, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact The right-hander pitched last Sunday versus the Nationals and surrendered five runs (four earned over 5.1 innings, and he'll switch spots in the rotation with Zach Thompson this weekend. The move shouldn't have any broader implications for Alcantara, since he still lines up for one additional start before the All-Star break, which begins July 12.

Charged with loss Sunday Alcantara (4-7) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings to take the loss against the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Alcantara gave up an unearned run in the top of the first inning Sunday but held the Nationals scoreless across the next four innings. However, he allowed a pair of home runs in the sixth inning to put him in line for his seventh loss of the year. Sunday's appearance snapped a streak of seven consecutive starts in which he had lasted at least six innings, and the right-hander has now been charged with four losses across his last eight outings. Alcantara tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Atlanta on Saturday.
