Luis Castillo endured a tough outing, surrendering three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Castillo's performance was not entirely disheartening as he managed to maintain a decent strikeout rate, which continues to be a silver lining in his season. His ERA slightly rose to 3.54 and his WHIP to 1.14, but these numbers still reflect a pitcher who can dominate on the mound. Fantasy managers should note that Castillo's high K/9 and solid FIP suggest that he remains a strong asset, especially in leagues that value strikeouts and advanced pitching metrics. However, his win-loss record now stands at 3-6, highlighting the potential volatility in relying on him for consistent win contributions.
