Career
New York Yankees
Castaño signed with the New York Yankees on June 1, 2018 and joined the Dominican Summer League Yankees that summer. He made his stateside debut in 2019 with the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Yankees. Castaño did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] He steadily advanced in the Yankees' minor league system, reaching the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in 2023. The Yankees released Castaño on August 8, 2023.
Seattle Mariners
On August 11, 2023, Castaño signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners and spent the rest of the season with the Double-A Arkansas Travelers.[2] Castaño split the 2024 campaign between Double-A Arkansas and the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. In 29 games (26 starts) for the two affiliates, he accumulated a 5–8 record and 4.38 ERA with 108 strikeouts across 125+1⁄3 innings pitched.[3] On November 4, 2024, the Mariners added Castaño to their 40-man roster to prevent him from reaching minor league free agency.[4]
Castaño was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma to begin the 2025 season.[5] In 10 appearances (7 starts), he logged a 2-1 record and 3.43 ERA with 28 strikeouts across 44+2⁄3 innings pitched. On May 23, 2025, Castaño was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[6][7]
