Pulled from game with injury Castro was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to right knee soreness.

Added to roster The White Sox selected Castro's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

MAY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to White Sox The Astros traded Castro to the White Sox on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Castro signed a minor-league deal with Houston during the offseason and has started the Triple-A season with a 2.29 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 19.2 innings. The 30-year-old will now join a White Sox organization searching for answers in its bullpen, and his hot start in the minors figures to give him a decent chance at joining the South Siders relatively soon.

Latches on with Astros Castro agreed to a minor-league contract with Houston on Monday, which includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Castro will get an opportunity to earn a spot in the big-league club's bullpen during spring camp after posting a 5.93 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with eight strikeouts over 13.2 innings a season ago in Arizona. He recorded seven saves for the D-Backs during the 2023 campaign, though he's primarily been utilized as a setup man during his time in the big leagues.

Released by Arizona The Diamondbacks released Castro on Wednesday.

Impact Castro went unclaimed after Arizona sent him to waivers and now he's officially a free agent. The veteran reliever missed significant time with a shoulder injury this season and when healthy posted a 5.93 ERA and 8:3 K:BB over 13.2 innings. However, Castro's solid track record should earn him another look somewhere, likely on a minor-league contract.

Allows eighth-inning run Castro allowed one run on two hits over a third of an inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Impact Castro, who entered with one out in the eighth inning and a string of righties due up, gave up a pair of doubles that started Atlanta's comeback from a 5-2 deficit. Kevin Ginkel could not hold the lead in the ninth, as the Diamondbacks didn't execute well -- relieving or fielding -- at the end of the game. The right-handed Castro is part of the setup crew and will get high-leverage appearances.

Back from paternity list The Diamondbacks reinstated Castro (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Impact Arizona optioned right-hander Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno to clear room on the 28-man active roster for Castro, who spent the maximum three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Castro, who has posted a 1.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over his last 14 appearances, should step back into a middle relief or setup role for the final week of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on paternity leave The Diamondbacks placed Castro on the paternity list Friday.

Spoils Pfaadt's outing Castro (5-6) was credited with Friday's loss to San Diego. He allowed four runs on three hits over a third of an inning.

Impact Castro entered a scoreless tie after Brandon Pfaadt fired seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball. He hit a batter with his first pitch then allowed a pair of singles and left following Fernando Tatis' home run made it 4-0. It was the second straight contest in which Castro has allowed four runs.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blows lead, takes loss Castro (5-4) was tagged with Thursday's loss to Atlanta. He allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Castro, who began the eighth inning with a 5-3 lead, sandwiched a pair of outs around a double before getting into trouble. He walked Ozzie Albies before Austin Riley took him deep for a three-run home run to erase Arizona's lead. Although his 3.4 BB/9 is an improvement over previous seasons, it's still a high number and the right-hander walked a delicate line before Thursday's costly free pass. A one-time member of a closer-by-committee, Castro has since returned to a middle-relief role, one in which he had recent success. Castro entered the game with a 1.50 ERA over his previous 12 innings.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records seventh save Castro picked up the save Monday against Philadelphia. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out one over one inning. He did not walk a batter.

Impact Castro cut it close, giving up half of Arizona's lead before successfully closing out the game. The right-hander has had a shaky month of June, giving up six runs across three innings. With the Diamondbacks using a closer-by-committee approach, fantasy managers can't count on him continuing to get consistent save opportunities if he keeps giving up runs.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stumbles in ninth inning Castro (3-2) allowed four runs on two hits and two walks Sunday. He recorded two outs (one strikeout) while blowing a save chance and taking the loss against Atlanta.
