On bench, likely to lose work
Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Analysis
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.

Idle Friday
Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.
Analysis
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, which likely indicates that Del Castillo's playing time is trending downward.

Pops homer in win
Del Castillo went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 win over the Rangers.
Analysis
After the Rangers plated two runs in the top of the fifth inning, Del Castillo responded immediately with a three-run blast. He continues to split time behind the dish with Jose Herrera until Gabriel Moreno (thigh) is ready to return. The injured Moreno ramped up his activity this week, and the Diamondbacks are hoping for his return by mid month. After an explosive debut to his MLB career -- three homers, 14 RBI over 48 at-bats -- Del Castillo has cooled off and entered Wednesday's contest hitting .130 (3-for-23) over the previous eight games.

Playing time slipping
Del Castillo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis
Del Castillo has now started just two of the last six contests for the Diamondbacks. They've faced three lefties over that stretch, but the left-handed hitting Del Castillo has also been out of the lineup twice versus righties, including on Tuesday against Nathan Eovaldi. Jose Herrera will catch and bat ninth for Arizona.
