Rockies recalled RHP Blas Castaño from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Castano gets the nod as a September call up for Colorado after missing most of the year with a pectoral strain. He made 10 appearances for the Rockies earlier this season, compiling a bloated 7.40 ERA across 20 2/3 innings of work.

Rockies activated RHP Blas Castaño from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Castaño had been on the IL since June 21 with a pectoral strain. After two scoreless innings to begin his rehab assignment, he gave up four runs for Albuquerque last night, which probably ruined his chances of getting re-inserted into the Rockies pen.

Blas Castaño (pectoral) started a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Castaño has been sidelined since June 18 due to a right pectoral strain. He’s going to require at least a couple of outings in a minor league setting before he’s ready to return to the Rockies’ bullpen. Barring any setbacks, he should be back at some point next week. Before being shelved, the 27-year-old hurler posted a 3.92 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 17/6 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings.

Rockies placed RHP Blas Castaño on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 18, with a right pectoral strain.

Castaño is likely to be sidelined well into the second half of the season given the nature of the injury. The 27-year-old has posted an encouraging 3.92 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 17/6 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings in his Rockies debut this season.

Rockies recalled RHP Blas Castaño from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Castano was recalled from Triple-A on Sunday, optioned back on Monday and now returns on Thursday as Brenton Doyle heads to the injured list. The 27-year-old hurler allowed just one run over 2 1/3 innings during his last brief stay with the Rockies. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

Rockies optioned RHP Blas Castaño to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Castaño heads back to the minors after allowing one run over 2 1/3 innings during a brief stint with the Rockies over the weekend. The 27-year-old middle reliever was claimed off waivers from the Mariners last month.

Rockies recalled RHP Blas Castaño from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The 27-year-old right-hander was claimed off of waivers from the Mariners in mid-April. Castaño has been terrific at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and a 12/7 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings. He’ll work in a middle relief role for the Rockies.

Rockies claimed RHP Blas Castaño off waivers from the Mariners.

Castaño was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 27-year-old will provide some depth and likely get a chance at some point to help the Colorado bullpen. Good luck.

SEA Relief Pitcher #62

Mariners designated Blas Castaño for assignment.

The move is necessitated to clear 40-man roster room for Patrick Wisdom. Castaño is just organizational fodder, and while a team could put in a waiver claim, it’s just as likely that he’ll report back to Triple-A Tacoma.

SEA Starting Pitcher #62

Mariners optioned RHP Blas Castaño to Triple-A Tacoma.

Castaño was serving as starting pitching depth for spring training. The 27-year-old is on the 40-man roster, so we guess he’s technically the seventh starter in Seattle, but it’s hard to see him getting many chances after pitching to a 5.19 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 97/51 K/BB ratio in 126 2/3 innings at Triple-A in 2025.

SEA Starting Pitcher #62

Mariners optioned RHP Blas Castano to Triple-A Tacoma.

The 26-year-old hurler appeared in just one game during his time with the Mariners, giving up three runs on four hits over his three innings of work. He’ll continue to serve as extra depth at the Triple-A level until he’s needed once more. Casey Lawrence was added to the M’s roster in a corresponding move on Thursday.

Cooper Hjerpe allowed four runs and got a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday.

Hjerpe appeared in only two innings and showed little command of the strike zone with four walks. The lack of control was his undoing as the walks led to one run in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth inning. Hjerpe threw 52 pitches and only 25 for strikes. He should continue to follow Kyle Leahy as a bulk pitcher. Hjerpe is lined up to face the Nationals at home next week.
