What happened: Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough indicated that Sandy Alcantara will be available to pitch out of the bullpen during the team's current series. The right-hander is expected to make at least one relief appearance.
Why it matters: The Marlins have recently deployed Alcantara as a reliever to treat the outings as in-game side sessions. He previously pitched the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs to secure a save.
By the numbers: Miami holds a 76-78 record this season.
What to watch: Alcantara is slated to pitch in relief during Miami's scheduled matchup.
