Luis F. Castillo Officially Called Up To Start On Friday
Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis F. Castillo was officially called up from the minors on Friday and will make the start in San Francisco against the Giants at Oracle Park. It's the second straight game that the Mariners will start a pitcher named Luis Castillo. The 30-year-old Dominican made his major-league debut back in 2022 with the Detroit Tigers but only appeared in three games in relief that year, although he tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings with no walks and four strikeouts. In his lone start with Triple-A Tacoma this year before being called up, Castillo allowed an earned run on two hits while walking two and striking out two in 5 2/3 frames. Castillo heads to Seattle with a 3.46 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 415 strikeouts and 131 walks in 11 minor-league seasons. Castillo spent the last two years pitching for Japan. Fantasy managers will want to avoid him in his first big-league start on Friday.
