Marlins reportedly place pitcher Sandy Alcantara and DH Jorge Soler on injured list
The Miami Marlins reportedly placed two key players on the injured list Wednesday.
Starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara reportedly landed on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm flexor strain, according to the Miami Herald's Jordan McPherson. Outfielder and designated hitter Jorge Soler will be out 10 days due to a right oblique strain, per McPherson.
It's unclear when or how Alcantara sustained the injury. He pitched eight innings in a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Alcantara, who'll turn 28 on Thursday, has pitched 184 2/3 innings this season for the Marlins, with 151 strikeouts and a .368 ERA. He won the 2022 National League Cy Young Award and made his second All-Star team in 2022.
Soler, meanwhile, played in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and tallied one hit in two at-bats. Soler is batting .240/.329/.513 with 35 home runs and 71 RBI in 466 at-bats this season.
The Marlins sit third in the NL East, with a 71-67 record, and are a half-game back of the Cincinnati Reds for the final NL wild-card spot.
