  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Set to start throwing program

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Castro (shoulder) will begin his throwing program this week, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Castro landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday -- retroactive to April 21 -- due to right shoulder inflammation. He posted a 5.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 8.2 innings prior to being placed on IL. The 29-year-old right-hander is eligible to be activated May 6, but he could stay on the IL past that date depending on how he progresses in his throwing program.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: To IL with shoulder injury

    The Diamondbacks placed Castro on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 21, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Castro will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. The reliever was dealing with discomfort for a bit, but it seems to have gradually gotten worse. He surrendered two runs on four hits across one inning during his last appearance Saturday. The 29-year-old is eligible for activation May 6, a team off day before the start of a series against the Reds. In a corresponding move, Andrew Saalfrank was recalled from Triple-A Reno.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Allows eighth-inning run

    Castro allowed one run on two hits over one-third of an inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

    Castro, who entered with one out in the eighth inning and a string of righties due up, gave up a pair of doubles that started Atlanta's comeback from a 5-2 deficit. Kevin Ginkel could not hold the lead in the ninth, as the Diamondbacks didn't execute well -- pitching or fielding -- at the end of the game. The right-handed Castro is part of the setup crew and will get high-leverage appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: More runs allowed Thursday

    Castro allowed one run on two hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings in Thursday's spring game against Kansas City.

    Castro has allowed runs in five consecutive appearances and owns an 11.12 ERA through 5.2 Cactus League innings. There was a one-month stretch from mid-May to mid-June in 2023 when Castro was closing games and regularly pitching high-leverage situations, but things fell apart quickly. Despite the poor spring results, Castro is expected to be part of the Opening Day bullpen.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Back from paternity list

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Castro (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

    Arizona optioned right-hander Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno to clear room on the 28-man active roster for Castro, who spent the maximum three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Castro, who has posted a 1.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over his last 14 appearances, should step back into a middle relief or setup role for the final week of the regular season.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Placed on paternity leave

    The Diamondbacks placed Castro on the paternity list Friday.

    Castro appears likely to miss the Diamondbacks' entire three-game weekend series at Yankee Stadium as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Slade Cecconi has been recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding roster move.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Spoils Pfaadt's outing

    Castro (5-6) took the loss Friday against San Diego. He allowed four runs on three hits over one-third of an inning.

    Castro entered a scoreless tie after Brandon Pfaadt fired seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball. He hit a batter with his first pitch then allowed a pair of singles and left after Fernando Tatis' home run made it 4-0. It was the second straight outing in which Castro allowed four runs.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Blows lead, takes loss

    Castro (5-4) was tagged with Thursday's loss to Atlanta. He allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

    Castro, who began the eighth inning protecting a 5-3 lead, sandwiched a pair of outs around a double before getting into trouble. He walked Ozzie Albies before Austin Riley took him deep for a three-run home run. Although Castro's 3.4 BB/9 is an improvement over previous seasons, it's still a high number and the right-hander walked a delicate line before Thursday's costly free pass. A one-time part of the closer picture, Castro has since returned to a middle-relief role, one in which he's had recent success. Castro entered the game with a 1.50 ERA over his previous 12 innings.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Records seventh save

    Castro picked up the save in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.

    Castro's seventh save of the season wasn't particularly smooth, but the Diamondbacks' two-run lead heading into the ninth inning provided him just enough cushion. The right-hander has had a shaky start to June, giving up six runs across three innings. With the Diamondbacks still taking a closer-by-committee approach at the back end of their bullpen, fantasy managers can't count on Castro continuing to get consistent save opportunities if he keeps giving up runs.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Stumbles in ninth inning

    Castro (3-2) allowed four runs on two hits and two walks Sunday. He recorded two outs (one strikeout) while blowing a save chance and taking the loss against Atlanta.

    Castro entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead and coughed up a go-ahead grand slam. He was riding a 10.1-inning scoreless streak since May 7 when he gave up a homer and blew a save against Washington. The 28-year-old's ERA spiked to 3.46 with a 23:10 K:BB through 26 frames.

  • Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Works around traffic for save

    Castro allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

    Castro put two of the first three batters aboard in the ninth inning, but got a flyout from Ozzie Albies and a groundout from Orlando Arcia to avoid disaster. This was Castro's 11th straight scoreless appearance, a span in which he's picked up five of his six saves this year while adding two holds and two wins. The right-hander continues to get late-inning work as a result of his strong pitching -- he's at a 2.13 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings this year, bringing stability to the back end of Arizona's bullpen. Andrew Chafin remains Castro's primary competition for save chances in what's become a two-man committee.
