Luis Castillo Fantasy Stats

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, The Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Mets are among the teams inquiring about Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo. Rosenthal noted that while the Mariners are not actively searching for a trade partner, they would be eager to do business to improve other aspects of their roster. With their rotation being their strong suit, moving Castillo could bring an impact bat into the Seattle lineup. In addition, Rosenthal noted that if Castillo were to be traded, this could open up some salary for the Mariners to target free agent first baseman Christian Walker, who has been connected to Seattle throughout the offseason. While Castillo's ratios took a slight step down last season, the 32-year-old remains a high-volume starting pitcher who has logged at least 150 innings over the past three seasons and over 175 in the past two.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (hamstring) could return from the injured list as early as September 23. The team remains optimistic their 31-year-old ace could be activated after a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list. Castillo hit the IL with a hamstring strain on September 10. Manager Dan Wilson did not express much detail about his progression, but seeing that the team remains optimistic is a promising sign. Before the injury, Castillo held a 3.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 47:175 BB:K ratio across 175 1/3 innings of work this summer with an 11-12 record. If Castillo returns next week, fantasy managers should expect right-hander Emerson Hancock to drop out of the rotation.

Seattle Mariners interim manager Dan Wilson said he didn't have a definitive timeline on right-hander Luis Castillo (hamstring) and if he'd be able to be activated from the 15-day injured list when he's eligible next Tuesday. "Progressing as he should be ... I think as far as we know right now, he's doing well," Wilson said. Castillo was placed on the IL on Tuesday due to a Grade 2 left-hamstring strain, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to rejoin the team's starting rotation before the end of the 2024 regular season. He has already received a platelet-rich plasma injection. At best, Castillo might make two more starts for the Mariners the rest of the way as they look to secure a wild-card spot in the American League. The three-time All-Star hasn't been as dominant this year, but he's still been useful in all fantasy formats with a 3.64 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 175 strikeouts and 47 walks in his 175 1/3 innings over 30 starts.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. Ugh, this news comes after Castillo left early during Sunday's game due to a hamstring issue. After undergoing further testing it was determined that Castillo suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain. At this point in the season it's uncertain if Castillo will take the mound again in 2024. He was pitching well with a 3.64 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 175 strikeouts over 175 1/3 innings of work this season. The Mariners haven't announced who is going to take over in the starting rotation. Regardless, most fantasy managers can move on from Castillo with the playoffs starting in most formats.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo (hamstring) was removed from his start early on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a left-hamstring strain. Before leaving, Castillo allowed two earned runs on five hits while walking one and striking out three in three innings of work at Busch Stadium. He will undergo an MRI exam on his hamstring on Monday when the team arrives back in Seattle, and at the very least, his next start is in jeopardy. If the 31-year-old's hamstring injury is serious enough, Castillo may not make it back for the rest of the regular season. Losing Castillo for the rest of the way would be a serious blow to Seattle's chances of catching the division-rival Astros for the American League West division lead. Castillo has gone 11-12 this year with a 3.64 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP and 175 strikeouts in 175 1/3 innings of work over his 30 starts for the M's.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo dominated the Mets on Sunday, tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out nine. Castillo allowed just four hits and two walks in this one. The 31-year-old has been a consistent presence all year, but he's been especially good since the start of July, racking up four wins, a 2.27 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and 45 strikeouts in 43 IP. He seems to be finding his groove at the perfect time for both the Mariners and his fantasy owners, who should treat him as a must-start pitcher down the stretch.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo continued his strong season by picking up his eighth victory of the season in an 11-0 blowout victory against the division rival Los Angeles Angels. Castillo was not needed deep into the contest with such a big lead, but he was productive in his six innings of work. Over that span, he allowed four hits, zero runs, two walks and struck out five on the evening. The veteran entered the season with the expectation of being of the first pitchers selected in 2024 drafts and has backed up his performance this year with a 3.53 ERA and 116 strikeouts over 117 1/3 innings. The only flaw, if there is one with Castillo is that the Mariners offense could hold him back from getting more victories. Outside of that, he can safely be ranked as a top tier pitcher the rest of the way.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (7-9) came out on top in the battle of the aces on Friday night versus Kevin Gausman and the Toronto Blue Jays, picking up the quality start in 6 2/3 innings with one run allowed on two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in a close 2-1 victory. Castillo carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before making his first and only mistake on a fastball right down the middle to Kevin Kiermaier, who tagged the 1-2 pitch for a solo shot over the right-field wall. The 31-year-old veteran struggled to a 5.13 ERA in June, but hopefully Friday night's outing is the sign of things turning around for the right-hander. Fantasy managers' eyes should light up when they see that Castillo's next matchup on Thursday will be against the Los Angeles Angels, whose offense has struggled mightily lately with only one run scored in their last three games.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo will start Sunday against the Twins in the series finale. With no announced starter for Sunday's game after Bryan Woo was placed on the IL, it was speculated that the Mariners would go with their recent call-up, Jhonathan Diaz. Diaz had made a start earlier this month for the Mariners, but instead, it will be Castillo. The 31-year-old has had a rough go of it lately, with just one quality start in his last four outings, but he did face the Twins once already this season with solid results. The righty went six-and-two-thirds innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out seven.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo dominated the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, pitching seven shutout innings in a 5-1 victory. Castillo allowed just two hits and three walks while striking out six. He has now allowed two or less earned runs in 10 straight starts dating back to April 14th. The 31-year-old also finally saw his ERA dip under 3 for the first time this year after this start, showing just how impressive he's been lately. He should be considered an elite pitcher in fantasy, just as he was before the season.
