The Marlins
released Castillo on Tuesday.
ANALYSISCastillo signed with Miami earlier this month after the team placed backstops
Jorge Alfaro (COVID-19) and
Chad Wallach (undisclosed) on the injured list, but both have since resumed working out at the organization's alternate training site in Jupiter. With both players nearing returns and
Francisco Cervelli and
Ryan Lavarnway still ahead of him in the pecking order at catcher, Castillo was deemed expendable.
