Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moving to starter?
PToronto Blue Jays  AAA
July 12, 2022
Castillo could be an option at starter for the banged-up Toronto rotation, opines Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star.
ANALYSIS
Castillo made a spot start Sunday for the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run and fanning three in 4.1 innings in Seattle. The righty has a 2.30 ERA and 18:3 K:BB in 15.2 innings across six appearances this season. He's seen his workload increase in each outing recently and would likely be able to cover upward of five innings on full rest. The 23-year-old is no stranger to starting and primarily served in that capacity in the minor leagues. With Kevin Gausman out with an ankle injury and Yusei Kikuchi out with a neck strain, Castillo could provide Toronto quality innings while it attempts to stay in the playoff race.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Castillo worked as both a starter and a reliever between the Blue Jays and the Royals last season, as he was included in part of the return for Whit Merrifield. He was better as a Blue Jay, as Castillo ended the year in rough form. Overall, his 5.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB across 39.1 innings aren't great numbers, but there's room for him to grow. The 23-year-old right-hander will be in contention for a spot in the Kansas City rotation heading into 2023 -- there are a lot of pitchers in that mix, but youth is on his side if he can get back on track. Castillo leans heavily on a 93 mph fastball and also features a changeup and a slider in his three-pitch mix. Realistically, there's a significant chance he opens the season at Triple-A, though his performance in spring training will likely be a key one to watch as the Royals shape their pitching staff under a new manager and pitching coach.
