Optioned to minors Castano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 26-year-old took the loss Saturday after surrendering three runs over four innings, and he'll now make his way to Triple-A. Castano has a 5.19 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 17.1 innings (four starts) for the Marlins this season.

Anderson, Brewers to take on Alcantara, Marlins

Stuck with second loss Saturday Castano (0-2) took the loss Saturday as the Marlins were downed 6-2 by the Brewers, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
Impact The southpaw embarrassingly gave up a solo shot to Adrian Houser in the fourth inning -- the second time this season he's been taken deep by the Milwaukee hurler. Castano has shown little sign of becoming an effective rotation option for Miami, posting a 5.19 ERA and 10:7 K:BB through 17.1 innings, but the team's lack of healthy alternatives will likely mean he gets more chances.

Recalled to start Saturday Castano will be recalled to start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Castano has made three starts this season but hasn't had much success. His 4.73 ERA could be worse, though his 5.63 FIP and 5.68 xFIP indicate that it perhaps should have been worse. He's allowed far too much contact, striking out just 8.6 percent of opposing batters. A corresponding move has not yet been announced.

Optioned to alternate camp Castano was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Castano was hit hard in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers and has posted a 4.72 ERA and 5:5 K:BB in 13.1 innings to begin the season. He'll now attempt to sort things out at the team's alternate training site. The Marlins haven't indicated who could take Castano's place in the rotation, but Nick Neidert could be an option to start in the near future.

Hit hard in no-decision Castano allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.1 innings and was not involved in the decision in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
Impact Castano did give up six hits in just 3.1 innings Tuesday but most of his troubles came in the second, when he allowed back-to-back solo home runs to Adrian Houser and Tyrone Taylor. The 26-year-old has been extremely underwhelming to begin the year with a 4.72 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings. He'll be in search of his first win of the season his next time out.

Houser hits 1st HR, pitches Brewers past Marlins 5-4

Gives up three runs Castano (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Giants after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while fanning two across five innings.
Impact Castano got off to a rough start in this outing after allowing three runs in the first inning, and while he settled down afterward, the damage was already done. The left-hander has yet to pitch more than five innings in his first two outings of the campaign and has posted a 2:4 K:BB through 10 innings so far, so he's is unlikely to remain in the rotation on a long-term scenario. He posted a 3.03 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP across 29.2 innings during seven appearances (six starts) in 2020, however, so he could be in line for a bounce-back performance sooner than later based on what he did last year.

Decent outing in season debut Castano gave up one run on three hits and two walks across five innings Friday against the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact Castano limited the damage to just one run in his season debut, and while he didn't strike out anyone, he's never been a pitcher with high strikeout numbers -- as evidenced by his 3.6 K/9 last season. The southpaw is unlikely to serve as a regular starter for the Marlins, but he delivered when called upon and had already notched decent numbers in 2020, posting a 3.03 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP across 29.2 innings during seven appearances (six starts).

Starting Friday Castano will start Friday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Castano was called up by the Marlins on Sunday, and he'll make his season debut in the series opener at home against San Francisco. The southpaw is unlikely to serve as a regular starter for Miami, but he posted a 3.03 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 29.2 innings during seven appearances (six starts) in 2020.

Recalled from alternate site Castano was recalled from the alternate training site Sunday.
Impact The 26-year-old didn't make Miami's Opening Day roster but will join the big-league club to close the second weekend of the season. Castano made his major-league debut last season and had a 3.03 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. He could be an option to serve as a bulk reliever behind opener John Curtiss in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Doesn't make Opening Day roster Castano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Impact Castano missed out on a spot in the Marlins' Opening Day bullpen, with the organization's decision to keep Rule 5 picks Paul Campbell and Zach Pop on the roster likely playing a major factor. The 26-year-old lefty will likely open the campaign as a member of Jacksonville's rotation.

Will start spring opener Castano will get the start in the Marlins' Grapefruit League opener Sunday against the Astros, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The southpaw isn't thought to be a candidate for a rotation job for the beginning of the regular season, but Castano is firmly in the mix for a long-relief or swingman role out of the bullpen. The 26-year-old posted a superficially strong 3.03 ERA over 29.2 innings last year in his big-league debut, but his 12:11 K:BB and 4.80 FIP offer a better reflection of his likely upside.

Effective against Yankees Castano (1-2) fired 6.1 scoreless innings Sunday as he earned the win against the Yankees. He allowed four hits and two walks while striking out two.
Impact Castano entered Sunday's game in the third inning after Jose Urena (forearm) was hit by a comebacker. The southpaw held the Yankees scoreless in his long-relief role as he earned his first win of the season. Urena was ruled out for the remainder of the postseason, so Castano could pitch either as a starter or long reliever, especially if the Marlins advance to the NLDS.
