The Pirates needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to make room for Austin Hedges and Castillo drew the short straw this time around. The 24-year-old hit just .201/.245/.368 with 10 long balls and one stolen base in 257 plate appearances with the Pirates during the 2022 season. There's a decent chance he'll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to serve as depth for the Buccos.

Castillo was sent to the minors back in late July, but will get another shot in the majors over the final few weeks of the regular season. The 24-year-old rookie infielder, who set the fantasy landscape ablaze with a torrid spring training performance, has hit .201/.245/.368 with 10 homers and one steal in 257 plate appearances this season in the majors.

Castillo will go down to Triple-A with the return of Bryan Reynolds from the paternity list. The 24-year-old has hit .201/.245/.368 while flashing some power with ten homers across 257 plate appearances. 

In the top of the fourth, Castillo hit a 395-foot two-run home run over the left-center field wall -- the 10th home run of his MLB career. Castillo has gone yard twice over his last nine at-bats.
