Luis Castillo Could be Bumped From Starting Rotation
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo could end up as the odd man out in the starting rotation. Fellow starter Bryce Miller (oblique) is set to return from the Injured List next week. The Mariners will need to make a big decision with their rotation once Miller is back in the mix. They could roll with a six-man rotation; if not, Castillo or Emerson Hancock would likely be shifted to a bullpen role for now. Castillo has never pitched out of the bullpen, with all 250 of his big league appearances coming as starts. However, he has been unusable in the rotation this season. Castillo owns a 6.29 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and a 31:13 K:BB ratio through seven starts. Hancock has been the much more effective starter and has earned the right to remain in the rotation. A short stint in the bullpen might be good for Castillo to hopefully turn around his season.
