2025 Fantasy Outlook

Del Castillo was already having a breakout year at Triple-A Reno by the time he showed up in Arizona and acquitted himself well in 25 games while filling in for an injured Gabriel Moreno. The organization's Minor League Player of the Year, Del Castillo posted a 1.002 OPS and 26 homers in 2024 at Reno. Power numbers in the hitter-smooching Pacific Coast League are always taken with circumspection, but Del Castillo's jump from 2023 to 2024 was comical. He gained more than 300 points of OPS, 64 points of average and dropped his strikeout rate 12 points. Against MLB pitching, Del Castillo slashed .313/.368/.525 with four home runs in 87 plate appearances - and a much higher strikeout rate than he had in the minors. His bat may be able to carry him in the majors, but Moreno is entrenched as the No. 1 catcher, and Arizona may want a better defensive option as a backup. Read Past Outlooks

Arizona optioned Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

ANALYSIS
With top catcher Gabriel Moreno returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday, the Diamondbacks will roll with Jose Herrera as the No. 2 backstop. Del Castillo is slashing .313/.368/.525 over 87 major-league plate appearances this season, but he'll have an everyday role in Reno for the tail end of the Triple-A season. The move makes room on the Diamondbacks' 28-man roster for right-hander Scott McGough.
