Miguel Castro's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Miguel Castro (shoulder) threw 17 pitches in an Arizona Complex League game on Tuesday and will throw again on Saturday, possibly to rehabbing catcher Gabriel Moreno (thumb), according to manager Torey Lovullo. The skipper explained that he would not be surprised to see Castro get a look at a minor-league affiliate before coming off the injured list. The 29-year-old got some run as Arizona's closer early last year and picked up a career-high seven saves when all was said and done, but he didn't last long as a ninth-inning man and didn't get off to a good start for the Snakes in his 8 2/3 relief innings before injuring his shoulder, allowing five earned runs on 12 hits while walking one and striking out six.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Miguel Castro (shoulder) was scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Monday, consisting of one inning and 25 pitches. Castro has thrown multiple bullpen sessions and is now facing live hitters, so he's getting close to going on what could be a short minor-league rehab assignment. The 29-year-old relief pitcher is rehabbing from right-shoulder inflammation. Barring a setback in his recovery, he should be back with the Diamondbacks' bullpen before the All-Star break in mid-July. Before landing on the shelf, Castro had a 5.19 ERA (3.61 FIP) and 1.50 WHIP with six strikeouts and one walk in just 8 2/3 innings pitched. He's in his 10th major-league season and has a 4.17 career ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 14 saves in 455 2/3 innings pitched. Castro isn't really on the fantasy radar, even in holds leagues.
