Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Castillo had a rough 2023 campaign, collecting a 6.23 ERA in eight appearances for the Mariners and a 5.13 ERA and 50:35 K:BB across 47.1 frames at Triple-A Tacoma. Both his velocity and control have trended in the wrong direction in recent seasons. Still, Castillo will turn just 30 next month, and a pitcher with his track record could find a major league job eventually with the Rangers or another team. Read Past Outlooks

2019
Castillo usually gives you a little bit of everything, including seven wins, nine holds and seven saves last season with Seattle. Historically, strikeouts and solid ratios have been part of the package too, but the right-hander's strikeout rate dropped 8.3 percentage points to a career-low 23.9% last year. Castillo's walk rate went in the wrong direction too, though he's always had trouble with his control, walking over three batters per nine innings for his career. On the plus side, he allowed a mere 30.6% hard hit percentage (95th percentile) with a career-best home run rate (0.8 HR/9). Castillo should reprise his high-leverage role for Seattle in 2023, but Paul Sewald and Andres Munoz are likely ahead of him in the pecking order for saves.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has improved mental game
Castillo said Tuesday his decrease in walks early this season is due to mental changes that have helped him to better visualize where he's throwing the ball, per Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old spent most of last season at the Triple-A level with the Mariners and had a 5.32 ERA and 50:35 K:BB over 47.1 innings, but he excelled at Triple-A St. Paul this year after joining the Twins on a minor-league deal. Castillo, who had his contract selected Tuesday, made 18 appearances for St. Paul and posted a 2.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 18 innings. The right-hander tallied 23 saves and 19 holds with Tampa Bay and Seattle in 2021 and 2022, and he could work his way into the high-leverage mix for Minnesota if he's able to keep up the strong form.
