Jose Castillo Out For Season With Torn Hand Ligament

By Dylan A. Chase | August 10, 2019 at 5:26pm CDT

Per MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell, promising Padres reliever Jose Castillo will miss the remainder of the 2019 season with a torn hand ligament (Twitter link). No surgery will be required, although this is certainly bitter news for a San Diego organization in sore need of bullpen aid.

After a solid 2018 debut in which the lefthanded Venezuelan logged a 3.29 ERA (2.64 FIP) in 38.1 innings, San Diego was likely looking for Castillo to develop into a viable bridge to vaunted closer Kirby Yates. Unfortunately, Castillo was sidelined for the entirety of 2019 with a left forearm flexor strain, until his activation this week. It was in his very first appearance back with the club on Thursday that Castillo exited a game with what at the time was believed to be a finger blister. As it turns out, the problem may end up being much more severe than the primary diagnosis indicated.

In a conference with The Athletic’s Dennis Lin, Padres manager Andy Green explained that the “pulley system” that straps a tendon in the middle finger to the bone was torn in Castillo’s hand (Twitter link). It is fair to speculate that Castillo’s return to the 60-day list will follow in due course.

    Did Jose Torres’ situation ever get dealt with? Always get these two mixed up.

      Pleaded guilty to the charges last winter. Didn’t look super hard but couldn’t find any info on what (if any) penalties he received. Was released by the Padres after the 2018 season. Spent 2019 pitching for some team in the Can-Am league.

    Well that sucks. At least he got the strike out at the same time. It ended on a positive note and not a negative.

    wow he had 18 Ks in 8.0 minor league rehab games then struck out 2 in 2/3 of an inning in the ML that’s an insane 20+ K/9 rate — I know it’s obviously an incredibly small sample size but still… wow too bad he got hurt.

    Unfortunate news….speaking of news, Ty France is killing it (albeit in the PCL). What’s the hold up on calling him up??!! I feel like at this point, Kinsler is useless, and he would rather have an out-of-position France at 2B over him. Thoughts?

      I forgot about Kinsler. He hasnt been playing.

      Maybe kinsler could get ‘injured’ and on 10 day IL till September 1st?
      I’d love if this offseason France got a little position flexibility to play 3B/2B/LF/RF. Would make a great 25th man.

      Same problem Urias had. No space for him. Nor will there be unless someone gets injured/traded
