Availability
Kervin Castro has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The move was made to make room for Carlos Rodon (elbow), who was activated from the IL and will make his season debut on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Castro was called up on Friday and appeared in two games out of the Yankees' bullpen. The righthander allowed a run on two hits while striking out two in two innings of work. It was his first action at the major league level since the 2022 season. Castro is likely near the top of the list for another call up at some point this summer.
Kervin Castro has been called up to the Yankees' roster from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He should be available out of the bullpen on Friday in Milwaukee.
Fantasy Impact
Castro made 11 appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season and was 1-0 with two saves and a 3.14 ERA. Last year with the RailRiders, Castro had a 1.53 ERA in 35 appearances, allowing only 27 hits while striking out 52 in 47 innings. He has not pitched in the majors since 2022, posting a 10.22 ERA in 10 appearances with the Cubs and Giants.
Righthander Kervin Castro has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the New York Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Castro had a great spring for the Yankees as he posted a 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings with a 6:2 K:BB ratio. The veteran righthander came up quickly and appeared in 20 major league games with the Giants and Cubs in 2021 and 2022 and posted a 4.91 ERA in 25.2 innings. He was an option to earn an Opening Day spot after posting a 1.53 ERA with a 52:22 K:BB ratio in 47 innings last year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll open the 2026 campaign there, but would likely be one of the first call-ups if the bullpen deals with struggles and/or injuries.
The New York Yankees selected Kervin Castro's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. His performance in 2025 has earned him a place on New York's 40-man roster.
Fantasy Impact
Castro dominated minor-league hitters in 2025, posting a 1.53 ERA and 1.04 WHIP alongside a 52:22 K:BB ratio across 47 innings. He will now have a chance to win a spot in the Yankees' bullpen during spring training.
