Luis Castillo Placed on 15-Day DL
The Metropolitans finally decided to place Luis Castillo on the 15-day DL this morning, according to Mets.com. Argenis Reyes from Triple-A New Orleans will take Castillo’s roster spot, and they also recalled outfielder Chris Aguila from New Orleans on Thursday, optioning reliever Carlos Muniz back to the Zephyrs.
I’m thrilled that Castillo was placed on the DL, and I would be even happier if they just got rid of him. Unfortunately, Castillo is another old injury prone player on the Mets that Omar did not have a backup plan for so he is better than our other current options. However, the Mets have a much better record when Castillo is not in the 2 hole.
