Luis Castillo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (hamstring) could return from the injured list as early as September 23. The team remains optimistic their 31-year-old ace could be activated after a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list. Castillo hit the IL with a hamstring strain on September 10. Manager Dan Wilson did not express much detail about his progression, but seeing that the team remains optimistic is a promising sign. Before the injury, Castillo held a 3.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 47:175 BB:K ratio across 175 1/3 innings of work this summer with an 11-12 record. If Castillo returns next week, fantasy managers should expect right-hander Emerson Hancock to drop out of the rotation.

Seattle Mariners interim manager Dan Wilson said he didn't have a definitive timeline on right-hander Luis Castillo (hamstring) and if he'd be able to be activated from the 15-day injured list when he's eligible next Tuesday. "Progressing as he should be ... I think as far as we know right now, he's doing well," Wilson said. Castillo was placed on the IL on Tuesday due to a Grade 2 left-hamstring strain, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to rejoin the team's starting rotation before the end of the 2024 regular season. He has already received a platelet-rich plasma injection. At best, Castillo might make two more starts for the Mariners the rest of the way as they look to secure a wild-card spot in the American League. The three-time All-Star hasn't been as dominant this year, but he's still been useful in all fantasy formats with a 3.64 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 175 strikeouts and 47 walks in his 175 1/3 innings over 30 starts.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. Ugh, this news comes after Castillo left early during Sunday's game due to a hamstring issue. After undergoing further testing it was determined that Castillo suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain. At this point in the season it's uncertain if Castillo will take the mound again in 2024. He was pitching well with a 3.64 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 175 strikeouts over 175 1/3 innings of work this season. The Mariners haven't announced who is going to take over in the starting rotation. Regardless, most fantasy managers can move on from Castillo with the playoffs starting in most formats.
