Miguel Castro Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury

By Anthony Franco | May 29, 2025 at 4:47pm CDT

White Sox right-hander Miguel Castro is out for the season, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The righty suffered a knee injury yesterday when he slipped on the first base bag while covering on a ground-ball to the right side. It’s unclear if he’ll require surgery or if the injury will impact his availability for next year’s Spring Training.

Castro’s season comes to a close after six appearances. The Sox acquired the veteran reliever in a trade that sent international bonus pool space to the Astros two weeks ago. Chicago hoped that Castro would pitch well enough in middle relief to be flipped for a lottery ticket prospect at the deadline. The 30-year-old righty surrendered five runs on as many hits and walks with four strikeouts over six innings. He’d been much better for Houston’s Triple-A club to begin the season. He carried a 2.29 ERA with 20 strikeouts and five saves over 19 2/3 minor league innings.

Chicago will place Castro on the 60-day injured list when they need to open a spot on the 40-man roster. This will very likely end his brief stint in the organization. Castro has well over six years of MLB service and will hit free agency at the start of the offseason. He’ll almost certainly be limited to minor league offers.

      He was terrible. In fact, this is probably a fine scenario for him. Now he can sit on the IL and recover and collect an MLB paycheck instead of getting DFA’d, released, stinking it up in the minors.

        I mean he did have a 2.29 ERA this year in the minors, not sure I’d qualify that as “stinking it up”…but I’m sure he’ll be happy to keep collecting an MLB check on the IL.

          Depends on how much that person is making to rehab.

      No curse-fortunately fans got to see them win in ’05. If Reinsdorf sells to an owner that will hire strong FO personnel and get out of their way, that is how an organization can be competently run.

        That could happen but the team would no longer be in Chicago.

        “and get out of their way” might be the most important part of that sentence.

    Welp, at least it wasn’t an UCL and he was hustling on the play. Kudos young man! Just glad it wasn’t one of those oblique injuries that seem to be an MLB apendamic.

      I think most players would prefer a strained oblique to a season ending knee injury. You can still walk with a strained oblique.

      What the F is an apendamic? Is this borrowed from a movie line?

    This happened with two outs and a 6 run lead, bottom of the 9th on a rainy day.

      Until that point in the game, he was joining the former Mets’ pitchers who pitched well for the Pale Hose against the Mets this week – Houser, Vasil and Castro.

    Bummer, he was hustling and made a baseball play. Sox flashed some of their upside, losing 2 close ones before stomping the Mets in the finale. Baby steps

      The lineup they fielded in the Mets series actually was not a bad one. People who continue to insist the Sox are as bad or almost as bad as last season either aren’t watching or are so in love with that narrative that they can’t let it go.

    The Sox are only two games better than this time in 2024..
    Gavin Sheets is also hitting .275/.324/.833 with 11 homers.

    Great decision making by Getz.. wait… is it time for him to DFA a guy again?

      It’s nothing compared to giving Tatis Jr away for a fading SP.

    This team should be looking to offload every player over the age of 28. If this team is going to lose I want to see an infield of Elko, Sosa, Meidroth and Ramos sink or swim until Montgomery can find himself. OF give me Baldwin, Dru Baker and whoever in right until Braden Montgomery is ready.

      Elko is so overhyped.
      HR’s are nice but not a .100 BA.
