Locastro started in center field and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 in over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
This was Locastro's third start since being called up 12 days ago, all in the outfield. He has some minor-league history as a stolen base threat. He swiped 23 bags in 2018 and 35 the previous year, but he's not expected to play enough for his speed to play in fantasy leagues.

Locastro started in right field and went 1-for-1 and was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro is primarily a utility infielder but got the start in right field, giving Adam Jones his first day off of the season. He was called up recently from Triple-A Reno after the Diamondbacks placed Alex Avila (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list.

Locastro was called up from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro was acquired from the Yankees in January and didn't have to wait long before making his way to the majors. The 26-year-old is 2-for-12 in his big-league career and should serve as a reserve infielder for the Diamondbacks.

Locastro was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro could get called up when injuries strike the Diamondbacks' infield. He has two hits in 12 career big-league at-bats.

Locastro was traded from the Yankees to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Ronald Roman and cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro had been acquired for a low-minors pitcher and cash by the Yankees earlier this offseason and has now been flipped for a similar offer after losing his spot on the 40-man roster to DJ LeMahieu. He spent the last four years in the Dodgers' organization, cracking the big-league roster for just 21 games and going 2-for-11 at the plate. He could spend some time as a utility player in the majors this season but is unlikely to play a significant role.

Locastro was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro was the roster casualty needed to free up a 40-man spot for DJ LeMahieu, who was signed to a two-year deal Monday. The 26-year-old spent the majority of the 2018 season at Triple-A, hitting .279/.389/.409 with 18 steals in 83 games for Oklahoma City. Locastro also played in 18 games for the Dodgers, slashing .182/.357/.273 with four steals in 14 plate appearances.

Locastro was traded from the Dodgers to the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for Drew Finley and cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Locastro played in 18 games for the Dodgers this past season while typically being utilized as a pinch runner in September. He spent most of the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City, hitting .279/.389/.409 with four home runs, 25 RBI and 18 stolen bases. Look for him to begin the 2019 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as outfield organizational depth. Locastro was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster following this deal.

Locastro was designated for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers have serval better-qualified bench outfielders and utility men in house, so Locastro was a roster casualty as other players are protected from the Rule 5 draft. He hit .279/.389/.409 with four home runs and 18 steals in 356 plate appearances at Triple-A last season. His best role is as a pinch runner -- he has five steals in the majors and just 15 plate appearances.

Locastro was called up by the Dodgers from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be difficult for the 26-year-old to find much playing time on this deep, competitive squad following roster expansion, but given Locastro's 18 stolen bases for Oklahoma City this season, he might come in handy as a pinch runner down the stretch.

Locastro was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Logan Forsythe (shoulder) returning to the active roster, Locastro was no longer needed at the big-league level. Locastro logged 11 at-bats during his time in the majors, collecting two hits (one double) and a steal while striking out five times. He's shown an improving approach on the farm in recent seasons, but Locastro should be considered a long shot to earn a regular role with the Dodgers at any point this year.
