The Mariners have officially named Luis Castillo their Opening Day starter.

Luis Castillo is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Monday against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Castillo figures to once again be the Opening Day starter for the Mariners this season. He will remain one of the top strikeout leaders in the MLB this year.
Castillo had a rough outing against the Astros, allowing 5 earned runs on 8 hits and 1 walk over 6 innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his solid season stats, he struggled in a crucial outing for the Mariners on Monday. Nonetheless, it's tough to argue with his 3.20 ERA and 20.9% K-BB% in 32 starts on the season.
Castillo turned in a dominant performance against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing just two earned runs over seven innings while striking out eight batters to secure the win.
Fantasy Impact
With this outing, Castillo continued his strong season, as he now boasts a 3.06 ERA across 31 starts. His impressive strikeout rate and solid strikeout-to-walk ratio further highlight his fantasy value. Despite the occasional hiccup, Castillo has proven to be a reliable option for fantasy managers and should be started with confidence moving forward.
Luis Castillo continued his strong season Wednesday, allowing just three hits and two earned runs over six innings while also racking up eight strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact
With a 3.13 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 9.9 K/9 on the season, Castillo has firmly established himself as a reliable fantasy option down the stretch. His ability to consistently miss bats and limit baserunners should make him a valuable asset for fantasy managers in the final weeks of the season.
