The Rockies claimed Castano off waivers Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Castano was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week but will maintain a spot on a 40-man roster with the Rockies. The right-hander opened this season at the Triple-A level and has given up one earned run with a 4:1 K:BB across 6.1 innings.

The Mariners will recall Castano from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Friday's game in Houston, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Castano holds a 3.43 ERA and 28:19 K:BB over 44.2 innings and 10 appearances (seven starts) with Tacoma this season. He'll give the Mariners' bullpen some length after the team's relievers covered 4.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Astros. Castano will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Mariners' Blas Castano: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mariners optioned Castano to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Castano was added to the Mariners' 40-man roster in November, but he'll head back to Triple-A to begin 2025 after allowing five runs (four earned) over two innings during spring training. The 26-year-old righty turned in a 5.13 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with the Rainiers last season, and he'll likely need to improve upon those numbers before getting a chance in Seattle's rotation.
