Miguel Castro has been shut down for the season due to a sore back, Thomas Harding reported on Twitter yesterday. Walt Weiss didn't elaborate on whether or not there was an issue more serious that "soreness." Castro last pitched on September 14, when he allowed two runs on two hits in an inning of work against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Castro threw just 5 1/3 innings since coming to the Rockies. In those innings, he allowed six runs on six hits. He walked four and struck out six.
Add Jose Reyes to the list of players who might not play again for the Rockies this season.
