Castillo didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Dodgers, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander gave up more than three earned runs for the first time this season as he saw his quality start streak end at four, but Castillo exited with the score tied 4-4 after throwing 103 pitches (61 strikes). He has struck out at least six batters in five of his last six outings, posting a 3.31 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB through 35.1 innings over that stretch, and Castillo seems just about back to top form after his delayed start to the campaign due to a sore shoulder.

Castillo allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo allowed all three of his runs in the second inning, two of which came on a home run by Geraldo Perdomo. He kept Arizona in check otherwise by recording 17 of his 21 outs via either strikeout or groundout. Castillo has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his eight starts this season, and he now owns a 3.33 ERA and 43:15 K:BB across 36 innings.

Castillo (2-4) took the loss Friday versus the Cardinals. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out three in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo was done in by a poor first inning, where two Reds errors combined to allow the Cardinals to score a second run. He also received no offensive support, as the Reds weren't able to generate a run with four hits and five walks. The right-hander has completed six innings in four of his last five starts, and he's allowed more than two runs only once in that span. He has a 3.23 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB across 39 innings in seven outings. Castillo is projected for a road start versus the Diamondbacks next week.

Castillo (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out six in 6.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo gave up two runs in the first inning on two doubles and a walk. In the fourth, two unearned runs scored thanks to two errors in the field. The final run against Castillo scored with two outs in the sixth on a solo homer by Maikel Franco. The 29-year-old has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his six starts this season. After a subpar 2021, the righty has a 3.55 ERA and 34:12 K:BB over 33 innings this season. His next start will likely be at the end of next week in St. Louis.

Castillo (2-2) earned the win after he pitched six scoreless innings Tuesday, surrendering one hit and three walks while striking out 10 versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo was dominant from the get go Tuesday, limiting the Red Sox to just four baserunners while punching out a season-high 10 batters. He has given up three or fewer runs in all five of his starts this season and has notched two quality starts in his last three outings. On the season, Castillo owns a 3.38 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 26.2 frames. He's tentatively set to pitch again Sunday against the Nationals.

Castillo (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo walked the leadoff batter Christopher Morel and gave up back-to-back hits -- including a two-run double to Ian Happ -- in the first inning. However, the right-hander was able to settle down and scattered just two baserunners across four scoreless innings to set himself up for his first win of the season. Castillo has registered three consecutive quality starts and sports a 13:2 K:BB during that stretch.

Castillo (0-2) took the loss Friday as the Reds fell 2-1 to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander put together his best performance in three outings since rejoining the Cincinnati rotation after a shoulder issue delayed his season debut, but Castillo got little support. He did get stretched out to 94 pitches (67 strikes), and he'll take a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings into his next start.

Castillo tossed 4.2 innings, surrendering three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five in Monday's win over the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Making his season debut, Castillo held the Brewers off the scoreboard for the first three innings Monday. He walked two batters to open the fourth frame before Rowdy Tellez roped a two-run double. The final run on his line came on a leadoff homer by Omar Narvaez the following inning. Castillo threw 87 pitches in the outing, making it likely that he will be able to toss a full workload in his next outing. After posting a 3.98 ERA with a 9.2 K/9 in 2021, his worst outputs since 2018, the 29-year-old will look to return to form this season.

Castillo (shoulder) was activated from the injured list as expected Monday ahead of his season debut against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo has been out all year after dealing with shoulder soreness during spring training. He's good to go now after making three rehab starts, a stretch in which he allowed one run on seven hits in 10.1 innings while striking out 16, though he also walked eight batters. He threw 4.1 frames in his most recent rehab start, so he'll likely have the chance to pitch deep enough to get a win Friday but may not be quite up to full speed.

Castillo (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Monday against the Brewers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old made his final rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, and he'll remain on a five-day pitching schedule while coming off the injured list. Castillo threw 76 pitches across 4.1 frames in that outing, so any workload limitations should be minor despite it being his first start of 2022.
