Miguel Castro Signs With Astros
3 days agoFree-agent right-hander Miguel Castro has signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros that includes an invitation to big-league spring training camp. Castro, a 30-year-old veteran from the Dominican Republic, heads to the American League West after spending the 2024 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In his 11 relief appearances over 13 2/3 innings with Arizona, Castro had a 5.93 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with eight strikeouts and three walks. The previous year in the desert, he had a career-high seven saves in a league-high 75 appearances out of the bullpen. Castro debuted in the big leagues back in 2015 with the Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies and has a career 4.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 14 saves and a 410:233 K:BB in his 460 2/3 innings. If he makes the big-league roster in 2025 in Houston, he'll battle for setup duties out of the bullpen.
