Dodgers released LHP Alberto Castillo.

Castillo was trying to earn a roster spot on a minor league deal, but he evidently failed to impress enough despite allowing just one earned run in his three appearances. The journeyman should catch on with someone as minor league depth. Sun, Mar 18, 2012 01:42:00 PM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Dodgers signed LHP Alberto Castillo to a minor league contract.

He'll also get an invite to spring training. Castillo, 36, posted a 2.31 ERA and 6/7 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings this past season with the Diamondbacks. Left-handed batters have knocked him around pretty good in the big-leagues, so he's probably a longshot to secure a specialist job.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports that the Dodgers are close to a minor league deal with Albert Castillo.

Castillo posted a promising 2.31 ERA in 17 relief appearances this past year for the Diamondbacks. He'd likely get an invitation to spring training from the Dodgers.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Diamondbacks sent LHP Alberto Castillo outright to Triple-A Reno.

It's a move made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster as the D'Backs head into their offseason. Castillo held a 2.31 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 17 games for Arizona this season and will likely catch on somewhere with a minor league deal over the winter.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Diamondbacks activated LHP Alberto Castillo from the 15-day disabled list.

Castillo has been out since late July with a sore left shoulder. He'll return to a specialist role.

Alberto Castillo (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning Saturday in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Reno.

Castillo has been out since late July with a shoulder ailment. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to return in early September.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Diamonbacks placed LHP Alberto Castillo (shoulder) on 15-day disabled list.

The 35-year-old had a fluky 0.96 ERA over 9.1 innings, given his 1.500 WHIP and 0.86 K/BB rate. Castillo will have a chance to improve his peripherals when he returns in mid-August.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Diamondbacks purchased the contract of LHP Alberto Castillo from Triple-A Reno.

Castillo inked a minor league deal with Arizona in mid-June after being dumped by the Orioles. The 35-year-old has posted a solid 1.83 ERA and 35 strikeouts 39 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level and will function as a middle reliever in the bigs.

Tue, Jun 28, 2011 02:05:00 PM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Diamondbacks signed LHP Alberto Castillo to a minor league contract.

Castillo has posted a 2.89 ERA, 8.9 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 across four seasons of Triple-A ball, but he hasn't been terribly impressive when given a shot by the Orioles, who decided to cut him loose. The 34-year-old Cuban defector will try to work his way up with the D'Backs.

Sun, Jun 19, 2011 09:43:00 AM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles designated LHP Alberto Castillo for assignment.

Castillo was cleared to make room for Thursday's starter Jake Arrieta. The 34-year-old left-hander gave up 12 runs over over just 10 2/3 innings (10.13 ERA) with the Birds.

Thu, Jun 10, 2010 03:00:00 PM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles recalled LHP Alberto Castillo from Triple-A Norfolk.

That didn't take long. Castillo, 34, was optioned to the minor leagues just four days ago after a four-run outing against the Rangers. The O's are obviously hoping that he'll fare a little better this time around.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles optioned LHP Alberto Castillo to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles saw enough after he was smoked for four runs on four hits, including a three-run homer during Thursday's game against the Rangers. Infielder Scott Moore is expected to take his place on the roster before Friday's game.

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles recalled LHP Alberto Castillo from Triple-A Norfolk.

Castillo wasn't bad in his previous stint in the majors while Koji Uehara was on the disabled list, so he gets the call as the Orioles try to find a late inning combination that won't leak away wins. After Saturday's late inning fiasco against the Indians, it's hard to blame the O's for looking at new solutions to their late inning problem.

Sun, May 16, 2010 11:59:00 AM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles optioned LHP Alberto Castillo to Triple-A Norfolk.

Castillo was recalled only two weeks ago and did a fine job during his time in the bigs, but he was one of the few Baltimore relievers with minor league options remaining. The move cleared a spot on the 25-man roster for Koji Uehara, who will return to the O's on Thursday.

Wed, May 5, 2010 05:04:00 PM

Alberto Castillo - R - Dodgers

Orioles recalled LHP Alberto Castillo from Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles won't need a fifth starter until May 1, so it made plenty of sense to add another arm to the bullpen. Castillo, 34, allowed three runs over 12 innings (2.50 ERA) in two brief stints with the Orioles last season. The Cuban southpaw had a 5.79 ERA over five relief appearances with Triple-A Norfolk so far this season.

2B	1	Mark Ellis
	2	Nick Punto
SS	1	Hanley Ramirez D.L. Hanley Ramirez (hamstring) ran in the outfield prior to Tuesday's game. It's the first time he's run since a left hamstring strain forced him to the disabled list earlier this month. Ramirez is being brought along slowly, but it appears that he has a shot to return closer to the short end of his 4-6 week timetable. May 21
	2	Dee Gordon
3B	1	Luis Cruz Sidelined Luis Cruz is nursing a sore throwing elbow. He could be placed on the disabled list, as Mark Ellis (quad) is ready to be activated. Cruz is hitting a pathetic .096/.118/.096 this season and has seen his playing time dwindle of late. May 19
	2	Juan Uribe
LF	1	Carl Crawford
	2	Jerry Hairston Jr. D.L. An MRI on Jerry Hairston Jr.'s knee has revealed tendinitis. Hairston is on the DL with a left groin strain, but it appears that the knee might be a bigger issue at the moment. However, he still played in an extended spring training game Monday, so it appears that it's not a significant setback. He could still be ready to return before the end of the month. May 20

CF	1	Matt Kemp
RF	1	Andre Ethier
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Clayton Kershaw
	2	Zack Greinke
	3	Josh Beckett D.L. Josh Beckett (groin) threw on flat ground prior to Tuesday's game. He did so without discomfort, something he was unable to do over the weekend. Beckett will throw off the mound soon before testing out his groin by running. The Dodgers haven't set a timetable for his return, but early June seems likely if all goes well. May 21
	4	Chad Billingsley D.L. Dodgers transferred RHP Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Scott Van Slyke on the 40-man roster. Billingsley had season-ending Tommy John surgery last month and will likely miss the early part of 2014. May 10
	5	Hyun-Jin Ryu
	6	Chris Capuano
	7	Ted Lilly
	8	Stephen Fife D.L. Stephen Fife (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program. Fife made a spot start with the Dodgers earlier this season, but has been sidelined since April 22. He'll likely be optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque when he's healthy enough to return. May 11
	9	Matthew Magill
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Brandon League
	2	Kenley Jansen
	3	Matt Guerrier
	4	J.P. Howell
	5	Ronald Belisario
	6	Scott Elbert D.L. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Scott Elbert's (elbow) velocity during his rehab assignment "still isn't where we want it to be." "But he's going in the right direction," the skipper added. Elbert has made four rehab appearances, but it appears he's not terribly close to being activated from the disabled list. May 20
	7	Paco Rodriguez
	8	Shawn Tolleson D.L. Shawn Tolleson is scheduled to undergo surgery on his injured lower back on Thursday afternoon. Tolleson was placed on the disabled list April 15 with a lower back strain and now needs surgery to repair the injury. He is expected to be sidelined for 3-5 months and could feasibly miss the rest of the season. Apr 25
	9	Javy Guerra
