Luis Castillo Could Return Next Week
3 months agoSeattle 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.
