The Nationals reassigned Castro to minor-league camp Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports. Castro, who inked a minor-league deal with the Nationals in December, hadn't been part of the team's spring pitching schedule since giving up three runs (one earned) on four hits over an inning of relief in his Grapefruit League debut back on Feb. 26. The 27-year-old right-hander made 12 appearances out of the big-league bullpen for Cleveland in 2022, logging a 7.43 ERA and 2.17 WHIP in 13.1 innings.

Castro and the Nationals agreed Wednesday on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. The 27-year-old reliever will get the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Nationals' Opening Day bullpen after he made 12 MLB appearances for the Guardians in 2022, logging a 7.43 ERA and 2.17 WHIP in 13.1 innings. In the likely event that he falls short in his bid for a roster spot with the big club, Castro is expected to begin the 2023 season with the Nationals' Triple-A affiliate in Rochester.
