On the night of May 12, 2025, at T-Mobile Park, the Mariners and Yankees will be squaring off, with the pitching rubber due at 9:40 p.m. EDT. Eyes are glued to the Mariners’ lineup list, pending news on Luis Castillo’s status after his short stay on the IL.

This game marks the first encounter in what should be a thrilling 3-game set between two heavyweight teams.
No injury red flags for Luis CastilloBefore the start of the Yankees series, no injury concerns had ever come up for Luis Castillo. While Seattle has seen its pitching depth be challenged over the last couple of weeks - Logan Gilbert with a forearm, George Kirby with a shoulder, and Luke Raley with a side - Castillo remains an anchor in Seattle’s starting rotation. He has never been placed on the injured list and is considered healthy for the next start he is scheduled for.


This should be a sign of relief in the midst of the Mariners' tough AL series against the red-hot Yankees. With some other key arms trying to recover, Castillo's availability only adds to the club's hopes of being competitive.

Seattle Mariners count on Luis Castillo’s resetLuis Castillo's last outing, in a May 10th contest against the Toronto Blue Jays, was overwhelmingly unfavorable by his standards. The right-hander saw five runs cross the plate against him in five full innings, battling control and command. While the tough start certainly went against him, Castillo still maintains respectable numbers for the season: a 3-3 W-L record, a 3.95 ERA, and 33 strikeouts in 43.1 innings pitched.

The Mariners hope that, given his track record and experience, he can "wipe the slate clean" and just trample the Yankees. To stop the ascendant New York offense, it will be crucial for him to keep hitters off-balance with his lively fastball and devastating slider.
What to expect against New York YankeesThe Mariners want to take the series from the Yankees, and Castillo is slated to go against the lanky rookie right-hander Will Warren. Every win counts right now, with the Yankees atop the AL East and Seattle trying to remain hot in the West. Being the staff ace, the rest of the team will count heavily on Castillo to get everyone going.


The game will air on MLB Network, ROOT Sports NW, and YES Network, or it can be streamed live on FuboTV. All eyes will be on Castillo as he steps onto the mound in what presents itself as a defining moment.
