Castillo (shoulder) has appeared in five games this season for Triple-A Rochester, going 3-for-11 with seven walks and an RBI.
Scouting Report
Owned pretty good game-calling skills and defensive ability behind the plate. Also had home-run power and a decent bat overall for MLB. Lacked some polish as a hitter and did not usually have a flattering walk/strikeout ratio (at any level). Like most catchers, he lacked mobility.
Long Range Potential: Decent catcher.
