Diamondbacks' Humberto Castellanos: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks outrighted Castellanos to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
As expected, Castellanos cleared waivers after Arizona designated him for assignment Aug. 11. Since he had been previously outrighted, Castellanos could have elected free agency, but he'll instead stick around in the organization with the hope of earning a call-up to Arizona later on this season. Castellanos worked out of the bullpen for his seven appearances with the big club earlier in 2024 but has been a regular member of the rotation at Reno, with whom he's compiled a 4.39 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 67.2 innings over 15 outings (14 starts).

Diamondbacks' Humberto Castellanos: Picks up first save
Rotowire
Castellanos picked up the save in a win over the Padres on Saturday, striking out one over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.
Castellanos took over with one out in the bottom of the 10th after Thyago Vieira managed to retire just one of the first four batters he faced to open the frame. The recently recalled 26-year-old was then able to retire the final two batters in succession to secure his first save of the campaign. Castellanos has now made two scoreless appearances since surrendering five runs in his season debut, allowing just one baserunner over that stretch. It's worth noting that the Diamondbacks didn't go to Paul Sewald on Saturday after the right-hander surrendered multiple runs in each of his previous two appearances, though they could also just be giving him some rest following his recent struggles.

Diamondbacks' Humberto Castellanos: Recalled by Arizona
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks recalled Castellanos from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
It'll be the second stint in the majors for Castellanos this season after his contract was selected by Arizona on June 6. The 28-year-old right-hander made one appearance for the big club June 7 against the Padres and was optioned back to the minors the next day. Castellanos has started 11 games for Triple-A Reno this season, but he will likely serve out of Arizona's bullpen with right-hander Scott McGough being optioned to Reno in a corresponding move and ace Zac Gallen (hamstring) set to return from the injured list Saturday.

Diamondbacks' Humberto Castellanos: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks optioned Castellanos to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Castellanos was selected to the active roster Thursday, and he will now head back to the minors after giving up five earned runs in 2.1 innings during Friday's loss. He'll remain on the 40-man roster as he heads back to Triple-A, but the Diamondbacks may be hesitant to call him back up to the majors given his poor performance. Scott McGough will come up from Reno to fill the open bullpen spot.
The Diamondbacks selected Castellanos' contract from Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
With Blake Walston (elbow) headed to the injured list, the Diamondbacks will call upon Castellanos to fill the open spot in their rotation. The 26-year-old right-hander has spent all season with Reno, posting a 4.57 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 43.1 innings across nine starts. Assuming he slides right into Walston's place in the rotation, Castellanos is lined up to make his season debut Sunday in San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Humberto Castellanos: Placed on 15-day IL
Rotowire
Castellanos was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain Wednesday.
Castellanos has struggled over his last two outings, as he gave up 11 runs on 17 hits and three walks while striking out six in 8.2 innings during that time. He's apparently dealing with an elbow injury that will force him to miss at least a few turns through the rotation. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be forced to miss more than the minimum of 15 days, but Caleb Smith will likely be in the mix to fill in as a starter. Left-hander Paul Fry was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
