2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alcantara spent the year rehabbing from Tommy John surgery undergone in October 2023. The timing of the procedure limited the right-hander to bullpen sessions, though he began to face live hitters in mid-September. All the progress reports were encouraging, but when he takes the hill in the Grapefruit League, it will be more than16 months since Alcantara threw a ball in anger. Typically, the exercises involved in Tommy John rehab strengthen the area, allowing the pitcher to match, and often add, velocity. The concern is always command and control, which were Alcantara's main assets before the injury. Even with a 98-mph fastball, Alcantara's strikeout rate was above average, but not elite. Workload will also be an issue. Rostering Alcantara is a matter of risk tolerance and level of reliance. It's best to treat him as a luxury item and not a staff fixture. Read Past Outlooks

No-decision on Opening Day
Alcantara didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's game against the Pirates. He allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Alcantara was in total control through the first four innings of Opening Day, including the third frame when he followed up a leadoff walk with three consecutive strikeouts. The right-hander started the fifth inning strong with two straight punchouts, but he allowed the next three hitters to reach before giving up a two-run single to Bryan Reynolds to end his day. Despite the underwhelming finish, it was an encouraging season debut as Alcantara made his first MLB appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery late in 2023. He understandably showed some signs of rust but still generated 16 swinging strikes on 91 pitches.

Alcantara endured a down 2023 campaign with a 4.14 ERA in 28 starts before going down with a UCL sprain in early September, and he underwent Tommy John surgery a month later. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner will in all likelihood be sidelined until 2025 given the elbow procedure's typical 12-to-18 month recovery timeline.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Target for Yankees?
Jon Heyman of the New York Post listed Alcantara as a potential trade target for the Yankees after ace Gerrit Cole underwent Tommy John surgery this week.
ANALYSIS
New York's rotation has endured a rough string of injuries during spring training, with Cole being lost for the season and Luis Gil out at least three months with a lat strain. Alcantara has returned to game action this spring after missing all of 2024 due to his own Tommy John surgery, and there's been early speculation that Miami will trade him before the summer deadline. He's not expected to face any workload limitations in 2025, but there are still some question marks for Alcantara coming off major surgery.
