Tests come back clean Castillo is day-to-day after tests on his left hand came back negative, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Castillo was struck in the hand by a comebacker during a Cactus League appearance Saturday, but he's managed to escape with just a contusion. The 28-year-old is trying to win a bullpen job as a non-roster invitee and has pitched well this spring, allowing two runs with a 6:1 K:BB over seven innings.

Outrighted to Triple-A Castillo was outrighted Thursday to Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Castillo passed through waivers unclaimed after getting pushed off the Marlins' 40-man roster. Acquired from the Padres last month in exchange for cash considerations, the 27-year-old lefty reliever has made only three appearances in the majors since the end of his promising 2018 season in San Diego.

Traded to Miami Miami acquired Castillo from the Padres on Tuesday for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Impact Castillo was designated for assignment by San Diego last week, having been lit up for four earned runs while recording only one out in his lone major-league appearance of the season back on July 4. The 27-year-old left-hander hasn't had success at the MLB level since 2018.

Designated for assignment Castillo was designated for assignment Thursday.

Impact With Robert Suarez (elbow) coming off the 60-day injured list, Castillo was deemed the odd man out. He gave up four runs while recording one out in his lone MLB appearance and has a 9.82 ERA in 18.1 innings in the minors.

Sent back to Triple-A Castillo was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Castillo made his season debut with the Padres this past Tuesday against the Angels and was charged with four earned runs while recording only one out. He missed the first three months of the year with a shoulder injury and doesn't seem to be fully back into form.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A San Diego recalled Castillo from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact Castillo missed the first several weeks of the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury and had struggled to an 8.44 ERA in 16 innings at the Triple-A level, but the Padres need fresh options in their bullpen for this final stretch of games before the All-Star break.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned Castillo was activated from the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Monday.

Impact Castillo is over his shoulder issue but will remain with El Paso where he had been on a rehab assignment. The left-hander has been terrific in the majors when healthy but posted a 12.46 ERA in six rehab appearances.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for rehab assignment Castillo (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Castillo landed on the injured list before the start of the regular season after battling left shoulder discomfort in the final few weeks of spring training. If all goes well from here, he could be an option for the Padres' bullpen sometime next week.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on 15-day IL Castillo (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Impact Castillo recently resumed throwing off a mound, but he likely won't be available to the Padres before mid-April as he works past a bout of left shoulder discomfort.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Castillo (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Castillo was shut down in mid-March due to left shoulder discomfort, but the shutdown didn't last too long. He won't be ramped up by Opening Day, but he may not miss too much time.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down with shoulder issue Manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that Castillo is currently shut down from throwing due to left shoulder discomfort, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Castillo has made just two appearances in the Cactus League this spring, and the last one was March 3. Given that Opening Day is now only two weeks away, the 27-year-old reliever seems likely to begin the 2023 regular season on the injured list.

Is Jose Castillo the real deal?

Cut loose by San Diego Castillo (elbow) was non-tendered by the Padres on Tuesday.

Impact Castillo underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2021, and the Friars won't tender him a contract for 2022 coming off a lost season of recovery.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day injured list Castillo (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Castillo's placement on the injured list is simply procedural since he was recently diagnosed with a UCL tear that will require Tommy John surgery. As a result, he'll miss the entire 2021 campaign and could also be sidelined to begin 2022. The move will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jordan Humphreys, who was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

MARCH 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Requires Tommy John surgery Castillo has been diagnosed with a UCL tear that will require Tommy John surgery, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Castillo suffered a setback while throwing his first live bullpen session of the year Tuesday, and he'll miss the entire 2021 campaign after being diagnosed with a torn UCL. The southpaw has dealt with various injuries in recent years and will now face a lengthy recovery process going forward.

MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with forearm tightness Castillo was diagnosed with forearm tightness Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Castillo has dealt with a long list of injuries in recent seasons and suffered another one during his first live batting practice session of the year. Forearm tightness can sometimes be the first sign of a more serious injury; we'll know more after he undergoes another evaluation Wednesday.

MARCH 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers setback in live BP session Castillo's (lat) first live bullpen session of spring training concluded early Tuesday after he appeared to experience discomfort, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports...

Impact The exact source of Castillo's discomfort isn't known, but he's most likely dealing with a setback related to the left lat/forearm injuries that have sidelined him for the majority of the past two seasons. Despite Castillo's shaky health track record, the Padres recognized enough potential in the reliever to tender him a contract for 2021, hoping he could reemerge as an impact contributor in the middle or late innings. The Padres will presumably evaluate Castillo over the next few days before more information on his latest injury becomes available, but even a minor setback could keep him on the shelf to begin the season.

MARCH 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to ramp up slowly in spring Castillo is throwing regular bullpen sessions but will "take it slowly" during spring training, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Castillo has thrown only two-thirds of an inning since his debut 2018 campaign due to a variety of injuries, so it's logical that the Padres will not rush him back into action. That said, manager Jayce Tingler described Castillo as "full-go," so the left-hander could play a key role in the team's bullpen if he's able to stay healthy.

FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy heading into 2021 The Padres reinstated Castillo (lat) from the 45-day injured list Nov. 2.

Impact According to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres declared Castillo healthy heading into the winter after he was limited to just one appearance with the big club over the past two seasons while missing time with a torn ligament in a finger on his left hand and a strained left flexor tendon. When he was last healthy in 2018, Castillo was a key bullpen piece for San Diego, delivering a 3.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 38.1 innings. If he can avoid any further setbacks this spring, Castillo could break camp as one of the Padres' top setup options.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with Grade 2 lat strain Castillo has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain and could miss six weeks as a result, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for Castillo, who suffered the injury during Tuesday's intrasquad game. While the Padres are hoping that he'll be able to pitch at some point during the abbreviated 2020 season, manager Jayce Tingler acknowledged that Castillo will "need some breaks" in order for that to happen.
