Cubs Prospect Kevin Alcántara Makes MLB Debut Amid Suzuki Injury

The 22-year-old outfielder earned his first big-league call-up following a standout season in Triple-A.

Kevin Alcántara debuted as the Cubs' right fielder, batting ninth in a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Alcántara's promotion was prompted by Seiya Suzuki's ankle sprain, creating an opportunity for playing time.
The 22-year-old collected his first MLB hit with an infield single and later scored on a double by Dansby Swanson.
Alcántara is ranked as the Cubs' No. 6 prospect and No. 69 overall by MLB Pipeline, known for his athleticism and potential.
Despite a crowded outfield, Alcántara's performance in these final games could impact his future role with the Cubs or make him a trade asset.
