Detroit Tigers infielder Sergio Alcantara has been one of the best defensive players in the organization's farm system since he was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2017 with third baseman Dawel Lugo and shortstop Jose King in exchange for J.D. Martinez.
Yet his offense still hasn't come around.
Now at 24 years old, and with other infield prospects on the rise, Alcantara's clock is winding down.
The Tigers (17-17) gave him a vote of confidence by calling him up from the alternate training site as the 29th player for Friday's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
