• Phillies' Rodolfo Castro: Bumped to 60-day IL

  09/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Phillies recalled Castro (thumb) from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday and placed on the 60-day injured list, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Castro had already been ruled out for the season with a torn ligament in his right thumb, but his shift to the Phillies' 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jose Cuas. The utility player didn't appear in a game for the Phillies in 2024 and slashed .211/.282/.310 in 78 plate appearances for Lehigh Valley before being shut down in August.

  Castro was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right thumb Thursday and will miss the remainder of the season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Castro has spent the entire season in the minors, although injuries limited him to playing just 20 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, during which he slashed .211/.282/.310 with seven RBI across 78 plate appearances. It's unclear if he will be ready to go for the start of spring training in 2025.

  Castro (shoulder) has slashed .245/.327/.327 with one home run in 13 games since being reinstated from Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 60-day injured list July 23. Castro had been on the shelf since April 3 due to the left shoulder injury before he was cleared to rejoin Lehigh Valley after completing a three-game rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. The 25-year-old infielder retains a spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster, but he hasn't appeared in the majors all season, and a promotion to Philadelphia wouldn't seem to be imminent.

• Phillies' Rodolfo Castro: Rehabbing from shoulder injury

  07/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Castro (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Thursday and has gone 1-for-6 with a run scored and an RBI between two games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Clearwater. After failing to win a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Castro was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley coming out of spring training. He appeared in just two games for Lehigh Valley before being placed on the 7-day injured list April 3 with left shoulder subscapular bursitis, per Tom Housenick of The Allentown Morning Call. Lehigh Valley later transferred Castro to its 60-day injured list, but since he's already missed more than two months with the injury, he'll be eligible for activation once he completes his rehab assignment.

• Phillies' Rodolfo Castro: Base knock Tuesday

  03/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Castro went 1-for-2 in Philadelphia's 3-2 loss to Baltimore on Tuesday. Castro has tallied 16 plate appearances in eight spring training games to date as it's clear the team wants to give the infielder every opportunity to make the Opening Day roster. While he has accumulated considerable experience over three seasons in the majors, Castro's high strikeout rate limits his offensive potential. If Castro makes the roster, he figures to be positioned as the team's rotational utility infielder.
