Kervin Castro: Breaking News

The Yankees optioned Castro to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Castro's stint with the big club lasted just two days, with the reliever making a lone two-inning appearance in Friday's 6-0 loss to the Brewers. His demotion clears a spot on the active roster for lefty Carlos Rodon (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start in Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee.

The Yankees are calling up Castro from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Castro made his last appearances in the MLB during the 2022 season, when he was with the Giants and Cubs. He made just 10 appearances during that season and had a 10.22 ERA with a 1.78 WHIP and a 11:7 K:BB through 12.1 innings. For Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2026, the 27-year-old has a 3.14 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and a 10:4 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

The Yankees assigned Castro to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Castro was added to the 40-man roster late in the 2025 campaign but didn't appear in any big-league games. The 27-year-old was in contention to land a spot in the bullpen for the upcoming season, but despite posting a 2.70 ERA and picking up two saves and two holds across 10 innings this spring, he'll start the year at Triple-A. If the Yankees' bullpen struggles our deals with injuries, Castro could be one of the first options to be recalled.
