Miguel Castro Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Miguel Castro was tasked with the seventh inning on Tuesday, trying to protect a 4-4 tie against the New York Mets. Things didn't go as planned, as the 28-year-old allowed two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one. Castro was the losing pitcher, and he now owns a 7.20 ERA since the start of June. The nine-year veteran still sports respectable numbers, as he's posted a 3.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 19.3% strikeout rate with seven saves and nine holds over 38 games. However, Castro hasn't recorded a save since June 12, and manager Torey Lovullo looks to prefer Scott McGough or Andrew Chafin in the ninth inning. Fantasy managers in standard leagues can drop the former prospect.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Miguel Castro had a tough outing Sunday, allowing four runs while taking the blown save and the loss in an 8-5 defeat against the Atlanta Braves. Castro loaded the bases on a hit and two walks before Eddie Rosario took him deep for a grand slam. It is the first runs Castro has allowed since April 7, so we'll give him a pass on this one. He now has a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 23:10 K:BB ratio over 26 IP. He has converted six of his eight save chances and should continue to split opportunities with lefty Andrew Chafin depending on the lineup context of their opponent.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Miguel Castro logged his sixth save of the season, beating the Atlanta Braves 3-2 Friday. While preserving a slim one-run advantage, he surrendered back-to-back singles with only one out, placing runners on the corners in the ninth inning. However, the 28-year-old was able to escape and earn the save. Castro has been consistent all year, owning a 3-1 record, a 2.13 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP while striking out 22 batters in 25 1/3 innings pitched. Andrew Chafin and Castro continue to split save chances in Arizona, but both relievers should be rostered in all league formats.
