Miami Marlins ace RHP Sandy Alcantara enters Tuesday’s game against the New York Mets with a chance to make even more franchise history. 

El Caballo will make his 200th career start for the Marlins and will look to tie Dontrelle Willis (2003-07) as the franchise’s all-time leader in home wins with 33. He already has the franchise record for innings pitched (1,262.2), quality starts (116), strikeouts (1,063), games started (199), and wins at loanDepot park (32). Alcantara is also the only Marlins pitcher to win a CybTounf Award (2022).

Alcantara, who leads the National League with 195.2 innings, will try to become the first pitcher of 2026 to surpass the 200-innings benchmark. It would be the third season of his career with over 200 innings pitched (2021, 2022). A typical outing from the star starter should suffice. 

Alcantara has faced the Mets 19 times in his career and owns a 2.82 ERA with 104 strikeouts. In his most recent outing against New York, Alcantara threw a six-inning gem with only four hits allowed and five strikeouts in a 2-0 Marlins win on Aug. 2.

With a 43-30 record, the Marlins are three wins away from tying the 2023 team for the most wins in loanDepot Park history. 

Javier Sanoja enters Tuesday with a career-high eight-game hitting streak. He is leading the Marlins offense with a .353 batting average and 21 RBI during that stretch. 

Kyle Stowers leads the Marlins hitters with an .808 OPS this season. After dealing with numerous injuries, he looks to be on his way to becoming the first Marlins hitter with an .800+ OPS in consecutive seasons since Giancarlo Stanton in 2016-17.

Triple-A Jacksonville outfielder Brandon Compton (No. 13) leads the Marlins farm system with 35 home runs, 97 RBI, 99 walks, 62 extra-base hits, and 89 runs scored.

Double-A Pensacola infielder Cristian Hernández (No. 24) leads Marlins minor leaguers with 27 doubles, while leading the Blue Wahoos in hits (99), walks (50), extra-base hits (39), and runs (58).

Double-A Pensacola infielder Aiva Arquette (No. 2) enters Tuesday with a team-leading eight-game hitting streak.

High-A Beloit LHP Nate Payne (No. 16) leads the organization with 111.0 innings pitched and ranks second in strikeouts with 147. 

High-A Beloit outfielder Dillon Head (No. 29) led the Sky Carp in batting average (.248), on-base percentage (.379), hits (89), runs (62), and stolen bases (41).

Double-A Pensacola and Single-A Jupiter each clinched a spot in the MiLB postseason.
