He recorded his first win of the season by pitching 3 innings, allowing 2 hits and 1 run, after entering in the 5th inning with the score tied 7-6 against Texas on April 21.

On April 24, when he appeared as a starting pitcher against the Chicago Cubs, he pitched 1⅔ innings without allowing a hit or a run but was substituted after throwing 23 pitches.

Caspariues took the mound in the 2nd inning against Pittsburgh on April 28 after starter Tyler Glasnow pitched only 1 inning due to a shoulder injury. He pitched 3⅔ innings, allowing 2 hits, striking out 5, and recording a scoreless performance.

He didn't pitch for a while, and Caspariues entered as the second pitcher in the 2nd inning after Jack Dreyer with the team leading 1-0 during the bullpen day against Miami on the 6th. He recorded 4 innings, allowing 5 hits, 2 walks, striking out 5, and giving up 1 run.
