Fantasy Impact
Castillo was showing his vintage stuff Monday night in Seattle. Coming off a down season, he gets off to this year on a strong note. He was in line for the win when he left the game, but the Mariners bullpen gave up the lead in the next inning. He is scheduled to face the Angels in his next outing.
Luis Castillo will start on Monday against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Castillo is really the No. 4 starter for the Mariners, but he is opening the season fifth in the rotation because the Mariners likely want Emerson Hancock to avoid the Yankees. Castillo doesn't hold the same upside he has once had, but he should continue to eat a lot of innings for the Mariners rotation.
The Mariners are not expected to trade Luis Castillo.
