Tigers Select Luis Castillo

By James Hicks | August 6, 2022 at 12:19pm CDT

The Tigers selected the contract of right-hander Luis Castillo, the team announced today. Not to be confused with the longtime Red (and new Mariner), the 27-year-old Castillo will be making his big-league debut whenever he enters a game. He’ll take the roster spot opened when the club optioned fellow righty Bryan Garcia to Triple-A Toledo following last night’s game against the Rays.

It’s been a long road to the big leagues for Castillo, who spent a full five seasons in rookie ball after signing with the Diamondbacks out of the Dominican Republic. He made it to Triple-A Reno in 2021 before joining the Tigers in the offseason and has put together an excellent 2022 campaign. Across 38 innings between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo, he’s logged a 1.42 ERA while striking out 23.2% of the batters he’s faced.

Garcia, who’s appeared for the Tigers in each of the past four seasons, struggled with control in his recent stint with the big club, walking a full 24.2% of batters faced, including six in yesterday’s start against the Rays. While he managed to limit the damage — he has a 2.35 ERA in 7 2/3 innings this year — his 6.37 FIP tells a different story. For his career, Garcia owns a 5.73 ERA (5.76 FIP) in 75 1/3 big-league innings.

    “Not to be confused”, they say as the link then redirects to the Mariners Luis Castillo. I’m curious as to how the linking system does that when you make a publication.

      Ha! We use an automated linker, but I manually linked the correct Castillo. But when I ran the automated linker to get Garcia, it ‘corrected’ back to the other Castillo. I re-linked it manually, though, so should be fixed now.

        Well, Machado’s free now that the Giants DFA’d him. His name’s Dixon, but he prefers to be called Manny.

        This is the most shocking draft since Tiger Woods went before Lenny Kravitz, Colin Powell and Wu Tang.

          And the Pirates, true to form, blew it by taking the Taco Bell chihuahua first overall. At least they got some savings for later rounds with the underslot deal.

    We’ve already seen Will Smith pitch to Will Smith. Next up, a pitching duel between Luis Castillo and Luis Castillo!

      As the young kids say today, that Will Smith at bat slaps when compared to a Castillo pitching duel.
