  • Diego Castillo: Becomes free agent

    Castillo elected free agency Sunday.

    Castillo cleared waivers after the Twins designated him for assignment Wednesday, and rather than sticking around in the Minnesota organization as pitching depth at Triple-A St. Paul, the 30-year-old will look to find work elsewhere. Prior to being pushed off the 40-man roster, Castillo made five relief appearances for Minnesota and gave up two earned runs on five hits and seven walks over seven innings.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Twins designated Castillo for assignment Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    The Twins needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of right-hander Jay Jackson to the bullpen. Castillo had just been sent down to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday following a brief stint with the big club in which he allowed two runs with a 3:7 K:BB over seven innings. If Castillo clears waivers, he will have the ability to elect free agency if he chooses to do so.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Sent to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Castillo to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Castillo allowed just two runs over seven relief innings during his brief time with the Twins, but that came with a 3:7 K:BB. The veteran reliever will head back to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for right-hander Louie Varland, who was called up from St. Paul to make a spot start Tuesday against the Rockies.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Returned to minors

    Castillo will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Castillo issued one walk and struck out one in a scoreless frame in Monday's 5-0 win, but he'll be rewarded with a demotion. He'll be sent to the minors with the Twins needing to clear a spot for Louie Varland, who is scheduled to be called up from St. Paul to start Tuesday's game.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Added to big-league roster

    The Twins selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Castillo's arrival with the big club was delayed a day by travel issues, but he'll be in its bullpen for Tuesday's contest against the Royals. The 30-year-old right-hander earned a promotion after posting a 2.50 ERA and 22:6 K:BB over 18 innings with St. Paul.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Will join big-league bullpen

    The Twins are slated to call up Castillo from Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    The plan had been to add Castillo to the roster prior to Monday's game versus the Royals, but travel issues could push the transaction to Tuesday. Castillo, 30, has collected a 2.50 ERA and 22:6 K:BB over 18 innings with St. Paul after inking a minor-league pact with the Twins in late March.

  • Twins' Diego Castillo: Inks MiLB deal with Twins

    Castillo signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Saturday.

    After being released by the Rangers on Thursday, Castillo was able to quickly find another gig in the bullpen at Triple-A St. Paul. The 30-year-old righty held a 3.12 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through his first five MLB seasons, but he allowed six earned run across 8.2 frames with the Mariners in 2023 and continued to struggle during spring training with the Rangers. Castillo will need to regain command over his pitches in the minors before he has a shot at returning to the big leagues.

  • Rangers' Diego Castillo: Signs on with Rangers

    Castillo signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Dec. 18.

    Castillo had a rough 2023 campaign, collecting a 6.23 ERA in eight appearances for the Mariners and a 5.13 ERA and 50:35 K:BB across 47.1 frames at Triple-A Tacoma. Both his velocity and control have trended in the wrong direction in recent seasons. Still, Castillo will turn just 30 next month, and a pitcher with his track record seems worthy of a roll of the dice on a minor-league deal.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Strong numbers in minors

    Castillo has pitched to a 2-0 record and 1.04 ERA across 8.2 innings over eight appearances for Triple-A Tacoma since being outrighted to the Rainiers on May 1.

    The veteran right-hander is still experiencing plenty of trouble with control, however, as he's also issued nine walks. Nevertheless, Castillo has managed to consistently work around his location issues and has given up only one earned run during his time in Tacoma. Although he's currently off the 40-man roster, it certainly wouldn't be inconceivable for Castillo to earn a call back to the big-league club at some point before the conclusion of the regular season.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Moved off 40-man roster

    The Mariners outrighted Castillo to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday after he cleared waivers.

    After he had been one of Seattle's top relievers since he was acquired from the Rays at the 2021 trade deadline, Castillo struggled mightily over the first month of the 2023 campaign, logging a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB in 8.2 innings before he was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday. Because Castillo is due $2.95 million in 2023 and has one more year of arbitration remaining, none of MLB's other 29 organizations were willing to put in a waiver claim for the 29-year-old right-hander. Though he no longer possesses a spot on the 40-man roster, Castillo could end up getting another look with the big club this season if he's able to right the ship at Tacoma.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Optioned to Triple-A

    Castillo was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Castillo has a lengthy track record of being an effective major-league reliever, but he'll spend some time on the farm after allowing six earned runs on seven hits and seven walks through his first 8.2 innings this season out of the Mariners' bullpen. Easton McGee is up in a corresponding move to start Saturday's game in Toronto.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Sharp through three appearances

    Castillo has allowed an earned run on three hits and generated a 3:0 K:BB over three innings in three Cactus League appearances.

    All of Castillo's 20 pitches thus far this spring have found the strike zone, underscoring how sharp the veteran right-hander has been. Castillo proved a versatile asset for both manager Scott Servais and fantasy managers during his first full season in Seattle in 2022, recording seven wins, seven saves and nine holds across 59 appearances while producing a 3.64 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Loses arbitration case

    Castillo lost his arbitration case against the Mariners on Wednesday and will earn $2.95 million for the 2023 season, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports.

    Castillo had filed for a $3.225 million salary when arbitration figures were exchanged earlier this winter. The 29-year-old reliever is projected to handle a setup role while occasionally factoring into save chances in 2023 after pitching to a 3.64 ERA and 53:22 K:BB across 54.1 innings with Seattle in 2022.

  • Mariners' Diego Castillo: Takes third loss Wednesday

    Castillo (7-3) was charged with the loss against the White Sox on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit over one inning while recording a strikeout.

    Castillo was sharp and efficient while throwing 10 of 15 pitches for strikes, but the RBI groundout he surrendered to Gavin Sheets in the eighth inning snapped a 6-6 tie and gave the White Sox a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The veteran right-hander has now uncharacteristically allowed a run in three straight appearances, but he still sports a solid 3.50 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in addition to his seven victories, seven holds and six saves.
