Marlins' Sandy Alcantara, after missing start, faces Braves

April 26 - The visiting Miami Marlins hope Sandy Alcantara can rediscover his Cy Young Award-winning form and help them stop a three-game losing streak when they meet the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Alcantara (1-2, 5.47 ERA) will be matched up against Atlanta's Bryce Elder (2-0, 1.14) in the third game of a four-game series. The Braves won the first two games, 11-0 and 7-4.

Alcantara missed his last scheduled start, on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians, due to biceps tendinitis.

"It didn't feel right to start him in a cold-weather day, cold-weather environment," Miami manager Skip Schumaker said.
