Gives up five runs in no-decision Alcantara did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing five runs on 10 hits over 5.1 innings against Washington. He struck out one and did not issue a walk.

Impact Alcantara gave up at least five runs for the fourth time this year and recorded a season-low one strikeout. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner has struggled mightily to start 2023 and holds a career-worst 4.97 ERA across 14 starts (88.2 innings). Not only is the right-hander giving up runs at an alarming rate, he's also not getting as many strikeouts as usual, posting just 23 over his last 37.1 innings (5.5 K/9). Things don't get any easier for Miami's ace, whose next start is scheduled as part of a three-game series versus the Blue Jays.

Solid through seven innings Alcantara did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over 7 innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Impact Alcantara held the White Sox lineup in check for most of the day and managed to pitch his way out of a few jams, allowing just one run on a leadoff homer to Andrew Vaughn in the fourth inning. The right-hander produced 13 of his outs on ground balls for the second straight start while lowering his ERA from 5.07 to 4.75 on the season, though he was still unable to nab his third victory. It's been a tough road for the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, who's recorded just one win since April 14.

Allows five in no-decision Alcantara did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits over seven innings against the Athletics. He struck out seven.

Impact Alcantara was excellent Sunday, apart from the third inning, where he allowed five runs on four hits. More importantly, Alcantara didn't issue a walk after allowing three or more free passes in his previous three outings. The 27-year-old right-hander has yet to return to his 2022 form, posting a 5.07 with a 1.22 WHIP and 67:25 K:BB in 12 starts (76.1 innings) this season.

Walks five in no-decision Alcantara did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks over 6.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out three.

Impact Alcantara's command eluded him again Tuesday, as he's now issued 13 walks over his last four starts (25.2 innings). It's been a tough year overall for Alcantara, following up on his Cy Young-winning campaign. He's 2-5 with a 4.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB through 11 starts (69.1 innings) this season. Alcantara currently lines up for a friendlier matchup with the A's on Sunday, where he'll look to get his season on track.

Picks up second win Alcantara (2-5) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

Impact Alcantara gave up a run and two extra-base hits on the first six pitches of his night. He shut down the Rockies from there, only allowing another run on an Elias Diaz solo shot in the sixth. Alcantara has failed to live up to his phenomenal 2022 campaign. He has allowed at least two runs in nine of his 10 starts and has a career-high 4.86 ERA. His FIP sits at 3.58, implying he will improve, but may not reach the dominance he had last season.

Takes fifth loss Alcantara (1-5) took the loss Friday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

Impact Alcantara has now coughed up 10 runs over his last two starts, an unfortunate development after he gave up just two runs over 8.1 innings on 5/7 against the Cubs. The right-hander has given up multiple runs in eight of his nine starts this year, and has an unimpressive 5.05 ERA. The 27-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Rockies on the road in his next start.

Takes loss after faltering late Alcantara (1-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 7.2 innings during a 6-5 loss to the Reds. He struck out nine.

Impact Alcantara served up a three-run home run to Jake Fraley in the fifth, but he was still in line for the win until he struggled in the eighth. The reigning NL Cy Young winner was pulled after surrendering the lead and was charged with three total runs in the frame. Alcantara continues to have a long leash, but he's struggled to shut down teams late in games like he did last year. He's allowed multiple runs in seven of his first eight starts and sports 4.91 ERA over 51.1 innings. His 1.21 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB suggests the ERA will drop eventually, but it's clear he's working through some adjustments.

Breaks fall off in ninth Alcantara allowed two runs on nine hits and did not walk a batter over 8.1 innings Sunday against the Cubs. He struck out nine and did not walk a batter.

Impact Alcantara had one of his vintage performances Sunday afternoon but wasn't able to quite close the door on the Cubs. Marlins' manager Skip Schumaker opted to send Alcantara back to the mound for the ninth, sitting at 100 pitches, after he threw a combined 12 pitches between the seventh and eighth innings. He started by striking out Dansby Swanson, but then a single, a double and another single would drive in two runs to even the game at 2-2. Still, it was an overall dominant effort from the 27-year-old but he's still in search of his first win since he threw a complete game shutout April 4. Alcantara will now take a 4.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB into his projected start against the Reds.

Falls to Atlanta Alcantara (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out five.

Impact Alcantara struggled Tuesday though his final line certainly could've been worse, as he managed to strand nine baserunners over five high-stress innings. Overall, it's been a disappointing start to the year for Alcantara following his Cy Young campaign. His ERA is up to 5.09 with a 1.25 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB through six starts (35.1 innings). The 27-year-old Alcantara will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively lined up for this weekend against the Cubs.

Solid in return from injury Alcantara did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against Atlanta. He struck out six.

Impact Alcantara was scratched from his last start with tendinitis in his bicep but managed to go 5.2 innings and throw 88 pitches. He managed to keep a clean sheet through five innings but Atlanta caught up to him in the sixth. Ronald Acuna hit a solo homer to start the inning and Vaugn Grissom ended the frame with an RBI single that resulted in Eddie Rosario being thrown out at home. Though Alcantara sports a 1-2 record and a 5.04 ERA, most of his earned runs came from a blowup start against the Phillies, in which he allowed nine runs over four innings. Regardless, Alcantara has been off to a rocky start to the season and will look to turn things around and live up to the lofty expectations set for him leading up to the season.

Impact It's never a good sign to see a pitcher dealing with an arm injury, but the fact that Alcantara will avoid the injured list for now is encouraging. He's expected to miss just one start, with Devin Smeltzer filling in for him in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader. It's possible the biceps issue partially explains Alcantara's disappointing 5.47 ERA to start the year.

Fans nine in loss Alcantara (1-2) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, allowing five runs on seven hits through six innings. He struck out nine.

Impact Alcantara put on an impressive performance on the mound, striking out nine batters over six innings of work. Despite significantly improving his earned run average since his previous outing, Alcantara couldn't work his way to a win as the Marlins' offense was stifled by opposing pitcher Zac Gallen. With a 5.84 ERA and a 20:6 K:BB ratio over 24.2 innings pitched, the 27-year-old right-hander will look to bounce back in his next start tentatively scheduled for the upcoming series against Cleveland.
