Adrian Del Castillo Homers Twice, Drives in Six
Arizona Diamondbacks catching prospect Adrian Del Castillo had a big day at the plate on Sunday for Triple-A Reno, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two home runs, and six RBI. The D-backs' sixth-ranked prospect came off of the IL at the beginning of July after missing a couple of weeks with a back injury, but also got a late start to the season as a result of a shoulder injury suffered in the spring, so has logged just 14 games in Reno thus far in 2025. The 25-year-old is hitting .288 with four home runs during his limited action, and his OBP comes in at .386 thanks to a strong 14.3 percent walk rate. The left-handed hitting backstop made his MLB debut last year with solid results, slashing .313/.368/.525 with four home runs, 19 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 25 games, although a 32.2 percent strikeout rate could limit his upside. Either way, Gabriel Moreno is nearing a return, but if another opportunity opens up with the big league club, expect Del Castillo to be given another shot, and he could be a worthwhile add in deeper leagues given his batting average, power, and RBI potential.
