Goes deep in loss Del Castillo entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a two-run home run in an 8-4 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Although Del Castillo homered for the second time in four games, his bat has been largely silent the last two weeks. He entered Sunday on a 3-for-29 (.103) run over the previous eight games. Del Castillo's offense was the main factor in him landing a spot on the 26-man roster, and if he continues to roll along with a .222 average and .671 OPS, playing time could diminish. The club envisioned him being a DH with the possibility of playing some first base, but that was before both Ildemaro Vargas (1.063 OPS in 107 plate appearances) and Jose Fernandez (.775 in 97 plate appearances) become more reliable sources of offense.

Busch stars as the surging Cubs beat the Diamondbacks 8-4 for their 5th consecutive win

Looks set to lose playing time Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Del Castillo finds himself on the bench for the second straight day while the Diamondbacks face another lefty starter (Matthew Boyd), and the 26-year-old catcher/designated hitter could soon find a more difficult path to playing time against righties. Gabriel Moreno returned from the injured list Friday and should serve as the Diamondbacks' primary catcher moving forward, and Jose Fernandez (.793 OPS in 93 plate appearances this season) has likely performed well enough to hold off Del Castillo (.601 OPS in 65 plate appearances) for regular reps at DH.

Hits second homer Del Castillo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.

Impact Del Castillo's blast got the Diamondback on the board in the fourth inning. The catcher had gone 0-for-7 with two walks and three strikeouts over his last three games. Overall, he's batting just .222 with a .652 OPS, two homers, 11 RBI, six runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 57 plate appearances. He's shared the catching duties with James McCann lately, but Del Castillo is likely to see a drop in playing time once Gabriel Moreno (oblique) returns, which is expected to happen during Arizona's series versus the Cubs this weekend.

Returns to action Del Castillo started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Del Castillo, who was removed from the team's previous game Sunday due to a finger injury, only needed Monday's off-day to get back in the lineup. He's hit a recent dry spell, going 1-for-16 over the last five contests, which dropped his average to .224 through 14 games.

Ready to go Tuesday Del Castillo (finger) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact The 26-year-old departed Sunday's contest due to a left ring finger dislocation, but he won't miss a start following Arizona's team day off Monday. Del Castillo will get another day off from catching since James McCann is forming a battery with Merrill Kelly on Tuesday.

Forced to leave early Sunday Del Castillo suffered a left ring finger dislocation and exited Sunday's contest against the Padres in the top of the third inning Sunday.

Resting with lefty on mound Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Del Castillo picked up two starts at catcher and one at designated hitter over the past three games, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while the White Sox send lefty Anthony Kay to the hill. With Del Castillo sitting, Jose Fernandez will serve as Arizona's DH and James McCann will get the nod behind the dish.

Scoring change removes two RBI Del Castillo lost a triple and two RBI as the result of a scoring change, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Del Castillo logged his first career triple to drive in two runs in a win over Baltimore on April 15, but MLB changed the scoring on the play to an error. Thus, a five-RBI day was lowered to three, and the catcher still seeks a triple. Del Castillo is slashing .263/.282/.395 with one home run and nine RBI over 10 games played.

Continues to hit Del Castillo served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact One of the few positives to take away from the blowout loss was Del Castillo's continued production. He's slashing .333/.353/.545 with 11 RBI over nine games since coming off the injured list. With a third catcher having been called up to help fill-in for the injured Gabriel Moreno (oblique), manager Torey Lovullo can deploy Del Castillo and his bat at DH when James McCann is behind the plate.

Huge day in extra-inning win Del Castillo went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run and five RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Impact Getting the start at catcher and batting cleanup, Del Castillo nearly slugged a homer to left-center field in the third inning, instead settling for his first career triple, but the 26-year-old left no doubt in the top of the 10th when he crushed a Tyler Wells fastball 420 feet to right-center for a two-run blast that broke open a 5-5 tie. It was Del Castillo's first long ball of the season, and through his first seven games of 2026 he's batting .346 (9-for-26) with 10 RBI.

Delivers in pinch Del Castillo went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Del Castillo entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and delivered the game-winning run. He normally serves a designated hitter, but Corbin Carroll has operated as the DH the last two games after returning from a two-game absence due to a tight hip flexor. Del Castillo will share catching duties with James McCann while Gabriel Moreno (back) is unavailable.
