FACTS/FLUKES: Castillo, Hoskins, Herrera, Urena, Schebler

Castillo off to a rough start … Luis Castillo (RHP, CIN) entered 2018 with lofty expectations following a tremendous rookie season in which he posted a 3.12 ERA and 98 K in 89 IP. However, things certainly haven’t gone his way in 2018, as evidenced by a horrid 6.02 ERA in 46 IP. Should fantasy owners be concerned?
