Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter told reporters prior to Wednesday’s game that highly-touted pitching prospect Sandy Alcantara will be called up from the minors to make his debut with the club on Friday at home against the New York Mets.

Alcantara would oppose Mets ace Jacob deGrom in Friday’s start.
