Impact Castro was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo during the All-Star break, but the move was reversed since he's actually dealing with an injury. It's uncertain how long the 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined.

Placed on injured list Castro was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with ulnar nerve irritation in his right elbow.
Sent down Wednesday Castro was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Impact Castro joined the Blue Jays in early July and allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four in 2.1 innings during his most recent stint in the majors. The right-hander could return to the big-league club at some point during the second half of the season.

Rejoins big-league club The Blue Jays recalled Castro from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Impact Castro returns to the Blue Jays just two days after being optioned. Recent struggles led to the righty's demotion, but Tyler Chatwood (neck) landing on the injured list necessitated Castro's joining the big-league bullpen once again. In his most recent appearance with the Blue Jays he struck out the side in a perfect inning, so perhaps he can build on that momentum and be a valuable contributor to the Blue Jays' struggling relief core.

Optioned to Triple-A Castro was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
Impact After a very strong start to the campaign, a trio of shaky June appearances rose his ERA to 4.50. With the Blue Jays adding the newly acquired Adam Cimber to the roster Wednesday, Castro finds himself without a spot on the 26-man roster for the time being. The right-hander should be a top candidate to rejoin the big club should the Blue Jays become in need of another reliever in coming weeks.

Grabs win in relief Castro (1-1) picked up the win in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Marlins, walking one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact The right-hander entered the game with the Jays down 5-3, and Castro got rewarded for a clean appearance when his offense staged a rally in the bottom of the ninth. The 26-year-old isn't seeing many high-leverage opportunities and has only a one-out save and zero holds through 10 appearances, but his 1.74 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 10.1 innings could earn him a more important role.

The 26-year-old only had one MLB inning under his belt prior to this season. He has a 1.13 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 10 strikeouts in eight innings.
