Rotowire
The Rockies signed Castellano to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Castellano was taken by the Twins in the Rule 5 Draft last offseason before being returned to the Phillies. The 24-year-old held a 5.40 ERA and 39:14 K:BB over 35 innings in 2025 at Double-A Reading.

Phillies' Eiberson Castellano: Shut down with injury again
Rotowire
Double-A Reading placed Castellano on its 7-day injured list Saturday due to an undisclosed injury.
After about a three-week stay on the shelf due to another unspecified injury, Castellano was activated from Reading's IL last Thursday. He made a relief appearance in a 5-4 loss to Erie that same day and gave up three earned runs on two hits and two walks over one inning. It's unclear if Castellano aggravated the previous injury or suffered a new one in that relief appearance, but Reading moved quickly to deactivate the 24-year-old righty once again. Castellano is without a clear timeline to return to action.

Double-A Reading placed Castellano on its 7-day injured list May 4 due to an unspecified injury.
A Rule 5 selection by the Twins in December, Castellano was returned to the Phillies after Minnesota was unwilling to include the 24-year-old righty on its Opening Day roster coming out of spring training. Castellano began the season in Reading, where he posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 15 innings while working in a swingman role before he was shut down with the injury.

Twins' Eiberson Castellano: Fails to make roster
Rotowire
The Twins informed Castellano that he won't make the Opening Day roster Sunday, so the club must place him on waivers, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 23-year-old was plucked from the Phillies during the Rule 5 Draft in December but struggled to a 7.59 ERA and 13:10 K:BB over 10.2 innings during spring training. Castellano will be offered back to Philadelphia if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
