Jose Castillo Experiencing Forearm Tightness
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Jose Castillo (forearm) was shut down Monday due to left forearm tightness. This could be an ominous sign for the Padres top left-handed bullpen arm at the onset of spring training. The 23-year-old Castillo turned heads in 2018 with a 3.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and spectacular 35 percent strikeout rate in 38 1/3 innings. Forecasted as a late-round relief option for efficient ratios and the occasional save, Castillo will need to be bumped off fantasy draft radars until clarity develops on his injury timeline.
