Eligibility
Diego Castillo cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Impact
It is a bit confusing as the original report said the Mariners optioned Castillo to Triple-A, but this report suggests they designated him for assignment. Either way, he'll report to Triple-A Tacoma to try to find his rhythm back on the mound.
The Mariners optioned Diego Castillo to Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Impact
Castillo has posted a 6.23 ERA across 8 2/3 innings pitched so far this season. The Mariners will look for Castillo to reset in Triple-A before calling him back up.
Mariners reliever Diego Castillo was tasked with preserving a 3-3 tie in the 10th inning of Saturday’s game against the Athletics. He ultimately allowed two walks and then surrendered the game-losing run on a fielder's choice. Seattle ultimately fell to Oakland by a score of 4-3.
Fantasy Impact
Castillo is now 7-2 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and .211 OBA through 44 games (40 2/3 innings) this season. He has also posted 9.30 K/9, 4.20 BB/9, and five holds while going 6-for-6 in save situations. Evidently, the 28-year-old’s tough outing on Saturday was an anomaly.

Fantasy Impact
Castillo has been sidelined since July 28th, but he will be available out of the bullpen again on Wednesday. The right-hander has a 3.93 ERA to go along with a WHIP of 1.31 in 36 2/3 innings this season. He should re-enter his role as a back-end reliever for Seattle.
Diego Castillo is likely to be activated from the 15-day IL on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Castillo has been out of action since July 28th with right shoulder inflammation. He has a 3.93 ERA, .231 OBA, a 8.84 K/9 ratio in 39 appearances this season. The 28-year-old should provide solid fantasy value when he returns.
