For his Players Weekend jersey, Reds rookie starting pitcher Luis Castillo will have the Spanish word "La Piedra" above No. 58 on his jersey. It means "the rock" in English and teammates say the right-hander is throwing really hard, or throwing rocks, to hitters. Castillo will be facing Gerrit Cole (aka "Cole Train") and the Pirates on Saturday. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle hasn't seen Castillo in person yet, but is aware of the reputation.
