Castro rejoins Arizona’s bullpen mix for Monday’s series finale against the Yankees in New York after being away from the club for a handful of games while on paternity leave. The 28-year-old right-hander has recorded a career-high seven saves to accompany a serviceable 4.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55/24 K/BB ratio across 61 1/3 innings (71 appearances) this season in his Diamondbacks debut.

Matt Olson went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored in Atlanta’s 3-2 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Olson has been on fire at the dish. He kept it going on Tuesday with a base hit and a run scored in the fourth inning before taking Andrés Muñoz deep for a solo homer in the ninth to give the Braves the lead. It was his sixth home run in nine games. The 32-year-old slugger is up to 13 while hitting .308/.392/.695 with 35 runs scored and 33 RBI across 166 plate appearances.

J.P. Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Braves on Tuesday.

Crawford took Bryce Elder deep for a two-run blast in the third inning to plate both runs the Mariners would score on the day. It was his second straight day with a home run and third in his last six games. The 31-year-old shortstop is up to four on the season while hitting .210/.363/.360 with 17 runs scored and 11 RBI across 124 plate appearances.

Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Iglesias got to work right away after he was activated from the injured list on Tuesday. He took the mound in the bottom of the ninth to close out the game against the Mariners with a one-run lead. Iglesias worked around a base hit, striking out two batters to shut the door on Seattle and end the game with his sixth save.

Bryce Elder

ATL Starting Pitcher #55

Bryce Elder allowed two runs with nine strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Elder held the Mariners scoreless over two frames, then surrendered a two-run homer to JP Crawford. He’d go on to strand just two more baserunners over three more scoreless frames, leaving after six at 93 pitches with nine strikeouts. The 26-year-old right-hander has been off to a surprisingly good start, posting a 2.02 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 45/16 K/BB ratio across 49 innings. Elder will look to keep it going against the Cubs in Atlanta next Tuesday.

George Kirby

SEA Starting Pitcher #68

George Kirby gave up two runs and struck out five batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Braves on Tuesday.

Kirby had faced the minimum through three innings, then gave up two runs on three hits in the fourth. He settled in for three more scoreless frames before his day was done after seven. He scattered five hits and one walk while striking out five batters. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 39/12 K/BB ratio across 52 innings into a start against the Astros in Houston on Monday.

Isaac Collins

KC Left Fielder #1

Isaac Collins went 3-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored in the Royals’ 5-3 defeat of the Guardians on Tuesday.

Collins came in with a 38 percent hard-hit rate this season, but he topped 100 mph on all three of his balls in play tonight, and all three times against Gavin Williams. He’s 7-for-15 with four extra-base hits this month, raising his OPS from .637 to .760.

Stephen Kolek

KC Starting Pitcher #32

Stephen Kolek yielded three runs in six innings to defeat the Guardians in his spot start Tuesday.

All three runs came on a 343-foot homer from Rhys Hoskins. Kolek struck out three and walked none. He has a case for overtaking Noah Cameron in the Kansas City rotation after this, but Cameron, who was scratched with a back problem, still seems to be penciled in at this point.

Lucas Erceg

KC Relief Pitcher #60
Lucas Erceg worked a hitless ninth with a two-run lead to earn his 10th save Tuesday against the Guardians.

Erceg walked one before getting Daniel Schneeman to ground out to end the game. Through 16 appearances, he has a 3.52 ERA and a 14/11 K/BB in 15 1/3 innings. He hasn’t been bad, but he’s definitely left the door open for Carlos Estévez to reclaim closing duties if Estévez’s velocity is back. Ideally, we would have found that out tonight, but Triple-A Omaha was rained out in what would have been his first rehab appearance.

Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams took his second loss of the year after giving up five runs in six innings Tuesday against the Royals.

Williams gave up 11 hard-hit balls, including homers to Isaac Collins and Michael Massey. It’s the second time in three starts that he’s been ineffective, though the outing in between was a nine-strikeout gem against the Rays. He still has a 3.28 ERA on the year. He’s due to face the Twins on Sunday.

Carter Jensen

KC Catcher #22

Carter Jensen struck out all four times up against the Guardians on Tuesday.

Jensen is 2-for-30 with 15 strikeouts in his last nine games, dropping his average 60 points to .222. With six homers already, his lineup spot shouldn’t be in question yet. However, he might be due for a day or two off.
