DANIEL CASTANO NEWS

Effective against Yankees Castano (1-2) fired 6.1 scoreless innings Sunday as he earned the win against the Yankees. He allowed four hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact Castano entered Sunday's game in the third inning after Jose Urena (forearm) was hit by a comebacker. The southpaw held the Yankees scoreless in his long-relief role as he earned his first win of the season. Urena was ruled out for the remainder of the postseason, so Castano could pitch either as a starter or long reliever, especially if the Marlins advance to the NLDS.

Impact Castano made his sixth start of the season during Friday's nightcap and was relatively effective. He gave up two runs in the first inning and allowed one more run in the fifth inning prior to his removal from the game. The southpaw now has a 3.86 ERA over 23.1 innings this season, but it's unclear whether he'll make another start in 2020.

Sent to alternate training site Castano was optioned to the alternate training site Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old surrendered one unearned run on five hits with one walk and one strikeout Friday, but he'll head to the alternate site before Sunday's twin bill. Castano gave up four earned runs in his first outing of the season, but he has a 1.84 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB in his past four appearances, so he could rejoin the Marlins for the closing stretch.

Solid effort in nightcap Friday Castano didn't factor into the decision during a 5-3 win over the Phillies in the second game of Friday's doubleheader, allowing only one unearned run on five hits and a walk over...

Impact The rookie left-hander continues to minimize the damage against him despite a lot of traffic on the basepaths. Castano has a 3.32 ERA through his first 19 big-league innings, but a 1.58 WHIP and 9:9 K:BB highlight the tightrope he's been walking. The Marlins have three more doubleheaders coming up in the next nine days, so Castano should get another start during that stretch.

Starting nightcap Castano is starting Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Impact Castano will take the mound to begin Friday's nightcap after being recalled by the Marlins on Thursday. The southpaw carries a 4.11 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 15.1 innings this season.

Impact The 25-year-old threw 23 pitches during his start Saturday and came back on two days rest to start Tuesday's matinee, and he ended up one out short of qualifying for the victory. Castano has a 4.11 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 15.1 innings as a fill-in starter for the Marlins.

Starting Game 1 Tuesday Castano is starting Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Impact He only recorded one out in his last outing Aug. 22, so while he is starting on short rest, he is more rested than a typical starting pitcher on two days of rest. Even so, Castano should probably not be expected to go deep enough to qualify for the win.

Impact Castano retired one of the four batters he faced while delivering only 10 of his 23 pitches for strikes, leading to the quick hook. The 25-year-old covered 10.1 innings with a 4.35 ERA across his first two outings before Saturday, and he could make another start next week if the Marlins don't return any starters from the injured list.

Getting starting nod Saturday Castano is slated to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Impact Castano was scheduled to take the hill Thursday against the Mets, but that contest was postponed after two members of New York's 28-man roster tested positive for COVID-19. The Marlins kept Elieser Hernandez on turn and had him start Friday's series opener versus the Nationals, so Castano will end up being pushed back two days in the pitching schedule. Castano was sharp in his second MLB start his last time out Aug. 15, holding the Braves to one run on four hits and two walks over six innings.

Impact The Mets apparently produced a pair of positive test results, resulting in the postponement of Thursday's series finale. The Marlins have yet to announce how they will adjust their rotation following the postponement, leaving Castano's next start up in the air.

Strong effort in no-decision Castano didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta, giving up one run on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings. He struck out two.

Impact After trading goose eggs with Max Fried for six frames, Castano came out to begin the seventh but was promptly taken deep by Marcel Ozuna and got the hook. Monte Harrison tied it up with a solo shot of his own in the eighth to prevent Castano from taking the loss. The quality start was the first of the rookie's career in only his second big-league outing, and the 25-year-old southpaw appears to be locking down a regular turn in the Marlins' beleaguered rotation. If he stays on schedule, his next start would come Thursday, at home against the Mets.

Starting Saturday Castano will start Saturday's game against the Braves, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old made his major-league debut last weekend and allowed five runs (four earned) over 4.1 innings, and he'll take the mound again Saturday. Castano may continue to see starting chances until the Marlins nears full strength following the COVID-19 outbreak.

Takes loss in MLB debut Castano (0-1) was charged with five runs (four earned) on five hits over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Mets on Saturday. He struck out four and issued one walk.

Impact A 19th-round pick by the Cardinals in 2016, Castano was traded to Miami a few years back in the Marcell Ozuna deal. His services were needed at the major-league level after the team's COVID-19 outbreak, and while Castano did not embarrass himself, he did serve up a couple homers. His role moving forward is not entirely clear and his arm is just not electric enough to warrant much attention in fantasy leagues anyway.
