Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcántara announced on Friday that he underwent Tommy John Surgery after the year ended and will miss the entire 2024 season.
“I am most saddened for the great Marlins fans, who were so supportive of me and the team this year,” Alcántara said in his statement. “The drive for the playoffs was thrilling for us all.”
Alcántara won the NL Cy Young award in 2022, pitching to a 2.28 ERA in a league-high 228.2 innings for the Marlins last season. This year, however, Alcántara struggled a bit more with a 4.14 ERA in 184.2 innings pitched, his worst ERA since his rookie season in 2017.
