The Red Sox placed outfielder Rusney Castillo on outright waivers this weekend. Castillo is owed more than $50 million on the 7/72.5 deal he signed in 2014 and if any team claims him, they will take over that contract. If Castillo passes through waivers (which seems likely), he will be sent to Pawtucket and will be off the 40-man roster. In 99 major league games, Castillo, who turns 29 in July, has hit only .262 with a .679 OPS. He has made only eight plate appearances this season.
Yoan Moncada has been promoted from Salem (High A) to Portland (AA).
