Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Alcala will enter the spring healthy and will try to recapture the promise of a pitcher once thought to be a future closer who has been derailed by injuries. He threw just 17.1 innings last season with an ugly 6.23 ERA amid another injury-plagued campaign as he missed four months with a stress fracture in his right forearm. He threw just 2.1 innings in 2022 due to an elbow injury that required season-ending arthroscopic debridement surgery. He features a plus fastball but control as been a recent problem (5.2 BB/9 last season). He'll likely need to prove himself at Triple-A before becoming a part of the bullpen mix in the majors again.

Sent to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Alcala to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has given up just one unearned run on three hits through six appearances this season, but he'll be the odd man out of the bullpen with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) making his return from the injured list. Alcala should rejoin Minnesota once additional bullpen help is needed.

Alcala's campaign ended just as soon as it started. The right-hander experienced a significant drop in his velocity during his second appearance and was subsequently placed on the IL with right elbow inflammation. The 26-year-old attempted to return from the injury multiple times, but continuous shut downs and the decision to undergo arthroscopic debridement surgery ended his season in August after just 2.1 innings. Alcala is expected to be ready for spring training and will be working towards reclaiming a high-leverage role for the Twins.
