The White Sox placed Castro on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.

EDGE Analysis

Castro suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Mets and is set to miss the rest of the season, and it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. The right-hander will likely be shifted to the 60-day IL once Chicago needs an opening on the 40-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

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.
