Rodolfo Castro Suspended One Game

Published:

Major League Baseball handed down a one-game suspension to Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rodolfo Castro for his cell phone incident during a game last week. He mistakenly left his cell phone in his back pocket and it came out during a slide into third base. Castro will be appealing the suspension and he’s allowed to play until he has a hearing.

There could be more news today as multiple sources are reporting that pitcher Roansy Contreras and infielder Kevin Padlo are both in the locker room for the Pirates. No word yet on whether or not they will be activated today, but it appears to be some moves coming up.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
