Making push for bullpen spotCastro struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
ImpactThe 25-year-old right-hander came into camp as a long shot to win a spot on the 26-man roster after being claimed on waivers from the Tigers in December, but Castro has impressed with a 1.23 ERA and 13:1 K:BB through 7.1 spring innings. With Kirby Yates (elbow) and Nate Pearson (groin) set to open the season on IR and other arms battling injuries as well, there may be room for Castro to sneak onto the Opening Day roster in a low-leverage role.

Solidiying roster spotThornton gave up three hits and a walk over three scoreless innings during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He struck out three.
ImpactMaking his first start of the spring, Thornton tossed 47 pitches (31 strikes) and shut down a lineup that featured all of the Yankees' big bats aside from Luke Voit. The right-hander's late start to camp has prevented him from factoring into the rotation mix to begin the regular season, but Thornton could provide valuable innings in long relief behind a potentially shaky starting five aside from Hyun Jin Ryu.
