Cubs’ Top Prospect Kevin Alcántara, Ranked No. 4 by MLB Pipeline and the 51st Overall Prospect in the Game, Has Been Unavailable for More Than Two Weeks Due to a Left Shoulder Injury
Kevin Alcántara, one of the top prospects for the Chicago Cubs, has been out of action for more than two weeks due to a left shoulder injury. However, there is optimism that he may return to action this week. Prior to his injury, Alcántara was showing promising results on the field. In his last 18 games, the 6-foot, 6-inch outfielder was batting .315 with notable contributions, including a home run, 6 doubles, 11 RBI, and a 135 weighted runs-created plus. Throughout the current season, Alcántara has maintained a batting average of .261 alongside a .693 OPS, registering 5 home runs and a 106 wRC+. Last season, Alcántara demonstrated significant potential during his time with High-A South Bend, boasting an .807 OPS, 12 home runs, and a 124 wRC+ in 95 games before earning a promotion to Tennessee towards the end of the season. With his impending return to action for Tennessee against the Barons in Birmingham, Alabama, fans are eager to see Alcántara resume his promising performance on the field.
