New York Yankees | RP
Overall
Summary
Kervin Castro, 27-year-old Venezuelan reliever, has returned to MLB with the Yankees after nearly 4 years away (last pitched in 2022 with Cubs/Giants). Called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 7, 2026, Castro made his debut on May 8, pitching 2 innings with 1 ER, 2 hits, 2 Ks against Milwaukee. He was optioned back to Triple-A on May 10 to make room for Carlos Rodón's return from IL. Castro has shown strong recovery from Tommy John surgery (2023), posting a 3.14 ERA in 14.1 innings at Triple-A with 10 Ks. Previous MLB experience (2021-2022) was poor with 10.22 ERA in 10 appearances, but his recent minor league performance demonstrates significant improvement and rehabilitation success.

- Strong Triple-A performance (3.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP in 14.1 IP)
