News
	Luis Castillo will piggyback behind Bryce Miller on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Ari Koslow Fri, May 29th	The Athletics have optioned right-hander Joey Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas. Brenton Kemp Thu, Mar 12th
	The Mariners say Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller will piggyback at least one more start. Ari Koslow Wed, May 27th	Estes made just three appearances for the A's in 2025, spending most of the season at Triple-A Las Vegas where he posted a 5.51 ERA across 80 innings. He eventually landed on the injured list with a herniated disc in his lower back to close out the year. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 10th
	Luis Castillo allowed two hits over four scoreless innings with six strikeouts and two walks in a no-decision on Monday against the Athletics. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th
	Mariners’ manager Dan Wilson announced that Luis Castillo will start for the Mariners on Monday against the Athletics. Ari Koslow Sun, May 24th
	Luis Castillo is expected to remain in his piggyback role with Bryce Miller next time through the rotation. Ari Koslow Thu, May 21st
Notes
	Luis Castillo remains a reliable innings-eater, but his 2025 profile showed continued erosion in strikeout rate (21.7% K%) and rising hard contact (46.5% HardHit), limiting his fantasy ceiling. Projections reflect more of the same: solid ratios and workload, but middling strikeout totals compared to the top fantasy arms. Castillo is still a dependable rotation anchor in deeper formats, though fantasy managers should no longer pay for peak-era upside. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	His age is increasing and his strikeout rate is plummeting - a disastrous combination for a pitcher. There are more talented, lively, and exciting arms being drafted behind him with more upside that I strongly prefer. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
