The Yankees selected Castro's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Castro dominated minor-league hitters in 2025, turning in a 1.53 ERA and 1.04 WHIP alongside a 52:22 K:BB across 47 innings. He'll be rewarded with a place on New York's 40-man roster as a result of his performance, and he'll have a chance to win a spot in the Yankees' bullpen during spring training.

The Tigers released Castro (elbow) on Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro is expected to be sidelined until the second half of the 2024 season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in June. The 24-year-old previously had the same surgery in 2017, which may have factored into the Tigers' decision to move on from the right-hander. Castro made 20 appearances in the big leagues between the 2021 and 2022 seasons but had pitched exclusively for the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate in Toledo in 2023 before having surgery.

The Tigers announced Wednesday that Castro recently underwent Tommy John surgery to address a right elbow sprain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tommy John procedure is the second of Castro's career, as he previously had the surgery in 2017. After failing to win a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen, Castro began the 2023 campaign at Triple-a Toledo and made nine appearances before being placed on the affiliate's 7-day injured list with a previously undisclosed injury. He was later moved to the 60-day IL and is now likely to be facing a 12-to-14-month recovery after undergoing the reconstructive revision surgery on his UCL.

The 24-year-old righty has made 20 career relief appearances in the majors between stints with the Giants and Cubs, logging a cumulative 4.91 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 25.2 innings.

Castro cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro was removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster Monday and will ultimately remain in the organization. Over 31 Triple-A appearances this year, he's posted a 5.19 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 34.2 innings.

The Cubs designated Castro for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Castro was moved off the 40-man roster to clear a spot for right-hander Hayden Wesneski, who was promoted from Triple-A Iowa to presumably take over the rotation spot of the injured Justin Steele (back). After being claimed off waivers from the Giants in August, Castro surrendered nine earned runs on 11 hits and five walks across 10.2 innings over his eight appearances with the Cubs before being optioned to Iowa two weeks ago.

EDGE Analysis
Castro has had a busy week. He was optioned Tuesday, recalled Wednesday and now optioned again two days later. He'll make way on the roster for Manuel Rodriguez (elbow), who returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.
