Hammered by Phillies Alcantara (1-1) allowed nine runs on 10 hits and a walk over four innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Philadelphia.

The Phillies then jumped on him for five runs in the third inning before tagging him with four more in the fifth. Alcantara tossed 77 pitches and forced just five whiffs on 36 swings. His ERA ballooned to 5.79 with an 11:6 K:BB through 18.2 frames. He's lined up for a home start against Arizona this weekend.

Twirls shutout against Twins Alcantara (1-0) collected the win Tuesday, allowing three hits and a walk over nine shutout innings while striking out five in a 1-0 victory over Minnesota.
Impact The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner retired the first 11 batters he faced before Trevor Larnach reached on an infield single in the fourth inning, and no Minnesota baserunner even got to second base on the night in a masterful performance by Alcantara. The right-hander generated 15 swinging strikes among his 100 pitches (68 strikes), and he appears to have rediscovered last year's form quickly after a shaky effort Opening Day. Alcantara's next start should come early next week in Philadelphia.

Only two strikeouts in opener Alcantara did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings against the Mets. He struck out two.
Impact This goes down as a disappointment for those who drafted Alcantara, but he had 14 swinging strikes on 96 pitches which suggests the strikeouts should tick back up. Alcantara has never been the most dominant arm in terms of whiffs, but he's been over eight strikeouts per nine over the past three seasons. The right-hander excels by using his changeup and sinker to keep the ball on the ground while rarely handing out free passes (Thursday notwithstanding).

Eight Ks over three scoreless Alcantara struck out eight over three perfect innings in Friday's Grapefruit League start against the Astros.
Impact The right-hander was sensational once again, and the 2022 NL Cy Young winner has a miniscule 0.68 ERA over his work in the exhibition season with a 15:4 K:BB through 13.1 innings. Everything Alcantara has shown so far this spring suggests he will once again be among the best pitchers in baseball during the 2023 season.

Given Opening Day nod Alcantara has been named the Marlins' Opening Day starter, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Fans five in scoreless effort Alcantara allowed just two hits in 5.2 scoreless innings Saturday in a Grapefruit League outing against the Nationals.
Impact Alcantara walked two and struck out five in an impressive outing for the 2022 Cy Young winner, as he made his return from the WBC. The right-hander now has a 0.87 ERA during his time in the Grapefruit League, and he has shown no signs that he won't be a strong fantasy option again in 2023. He'll likely make one more spring start before an Opening Day outing March 30 against the Mets.
