Jose Castillo Activated, Adrian Morejon To IL
5 years agoThe San Diego Padres activated reliever Jose Castillo (forearm) from the 60-day injured list and placed reliever Adrian Morejon (shoulder) on the 15-day IL. Castillo’s next pitch will be his first in 2019 as he’s battled forearm issues since spring training. The 23-year-old was a stud from the bullpen last season with a 3.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12.2 K/9 across 37 games. Castillo will surely be welcomed back to a shaky Padres bullpen and could help anchor fantasy ratios down the stretch. Correspondingly, Morejon has scuffled with a 10.13 ERA in five appearances since his promotion to the big leagues and will be temporarily shut down with an impinged shoulder. Morejon, the team’s No. 7 prospect will surely get another opportunity but severity of his injury is to be determined.
