Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Sent to Triple-A
The Diamondbacks optioned Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Del Castillo missed out on Arizona's Opening Day roster after going 3-for-24 with 12 strikeouts in nine spring games. The 25-year-old could still see the big leagues at some point this season but isn't likely to see much playing time if Gabriel Moreno stays healthy.

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Back at catcher Friday
Del Castillo (arm) will make his first start this spring at catcher Friday against the Royals.
Del Castillo's first two Cactus League starts were at designated hitter as he worked his way back from some right arm fatigue, but he's now fully cleared. The young backstop is competing for the Diamondbacks' backup catcher job behind Gabriel Moreno.

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Dealing with arm fatigue
Del Castillo will be limited to designated hitter duty initially in Cactus League play due to right arm fatigue, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
The injury does not appear to be a long-term concern, as the Diamondbacks expect Del Castillo to be ready to catch in games by early March. The 25-year-old is competing with Jose Herrera for the backup catcher job behind Gabriel Moreno.

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Optioned to Reno
Arizona optioned Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
With top catcher Gabriel Moreno returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday, the Diamondbacks will roll with Jose Herrera as the No. 2 backstop. Del Castillo is slashing .313/.368/.525 over 87 major-league plate appearances this season, but he'll have an everyday role in Reno for the tail end of the Triple-A season. The move makes room on the Diamondbacks' 28-man roster for right-hander Scott McGough.

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: On bench, likely to lose work
Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
With a left-hander (DL Hall) starting for the Brewers, the left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will head to the bench while Jose Herrera gets the nod behind the plate. Though Del Castillo had typically been seeing most of the starts against right-handed pitching since he was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Aug. 6, he and Herrera are both likely to see their opportunities diminish over the final two weeks of the season after Arizona reinstated top backstop Gabriel Moreno (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Moreno could draw back into the lineup as soon as Monday in Colorado.

Del Castillo will give way to Jose Herrera for the fourth time in six games. Although two of those occurrences came against left-handed pitching, the Brewers are starting right-hander Freddy Peralta on Friday, a strong sign that Del Castillo's playing time is trending downward.
