The Miami Marlins will be without their ace next season.
Right-handed pitcher Sandy Alcantara, the Marlins’ Opening Day starter each of the past three years and the 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner, announced Friday that he underwent Tommy John surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow.
Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas, performed the operation.
“With a heavy heart, I want to let everyone know I had ‘Tommy John’ surgery today and will miss next season,” Alcantara wrote on social media Friday. “I am most saddened for the great Marlins fans, who were so supportive of me and the team this year.”
