Next start pushed back one day Alcantara's next start has been pushed back one day to Monday instead of Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Marlins are off on Friday, and instead of keeping Alcantara and the rest of the rotation on schedule, they'll use that day off to give them an extra day of rest. They haven't announced Sunday's starter, but De Nicola suggests that it could be either Braxton Garrett or Daniel Castano, both of whom are at the Marlins' alternate training site.

Fans 10 in Tuesday's loss Alcantara (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks over six innings as the Marlins fell 4-2 to the Cardinals. He struck out 10.
Impact The right-hander has come firing out of the gate, delivering two straight quality starts with a 17:4 K:BB in 12 innings to begin the season, but Alcantara doesn't have a victory to show for it. He'll look for win no. 1 in his next outing, set for Sunday on the road against the Mets.

Impact The right-hander worked into and out of trouble during the first inning and coasted the rest of the way for a dazzling debut to the season. Unfortunately his teammates couldn't get the offensive side of things going in what turned into a pitcher's duel. During spring action, Alcantara allowed two unearned runs on seven hits and eight walks while striking out 19 over 12.2 innings across four starts. The 25-year-old will look for his first win Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Whiffs nine Mets in spring outing Alcantara tossed five scoreless frames Wednesday in the Marlins' 3-2 loss to the Mets, scattering three hits while striking out nine and walking none.
Impact Alcantara's control and command were both on point Wednesday, as he fired in 70 percent of his pitches for strikes and allowed one flyout against three groundouts. The Marlins have yet to announce an Opening Day starter, but Alcantara has established himself as the clear favorite to get the nod with how he's pitched so far this spring. Through four outings spanning 12.2 innings, Alcantara has allowed only four unearned runs to go with a 19:8 K:BB and a .163 batting average allowed.
