It’s simply not happening. Alcantara’s struggles continued Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park as he surrendered seven hits and allowed at least four earned runs for the sixth consecutive start since April 29. He threw just 44 of 71 pitches for strikes, walking four batters in the process, and failed to record a strikeout for the first time since April 6, 2019. The fastball velocity continues to be there for Alcantara in his return from Tommy John surgery, but he somehow managed to generate only one swinging strike in this contest, which seems almost impossible. He’ll square off against the Rockies on Tuesday in his next start, but there’s zero reason fantasy managers should trust him given his recent performance.

Alcantara gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out eight. Despite taking his fifth loss in a row, it was a solid outing for Alcantara, who got burned by allowing a three-run home run to Tim Elko. The 29-year-old right-hander’s 8.10 ERA this season is the stuff of nightmares, but his 4.50 xFIP leads us to believe it’s not over for the former Cy Young award winner. Alcantara just has to pitch well enough for a contender to trade for him before the deadline. Alcantara is set to face the Rays at home next weekend and he’s worth considering putting in lineups in that matchup.

10 of the Dodgers’ 17 balls in play against Alcantara were hit hard, including Shohei Ohtani’s 117.9-mph homer. It’s the third time in four starts that Alcantara has allowed at least five runs. He’s lost four in a row, leaving him 2-4 with an 8.42 ERA. At least he gets the White Sox next.

Alcantara gave up a two-run homer in the first and then a walk and three singles in a four-run second inning that included two wild pitches. His velocity was good, and if this was two years ago, he would have gotten a chance to stay in and bounce back. As is, the Marlins are being extra careful, not only because he’s returning from Tommy John but also because they want to trade him this summer. Alcantara’s next start will come Wednesday at home against the Reds.

Alcantara had faced the minimum through three scoreless innings before giving up three runs on three hits and two walks before recording an out in the fourth. Two hits and a walk in the sixth made it four runs for the Nationals before Alcantara’s day was done 87 pitches. It wasn’t the sharpest day for the 29-year-old right-hander as he walked four and struck out just one batter. Miami did give him the run support to come away with the win. He’ll take on the Diamondbacks in Miami on Thursday.
