Kervin Castro appeared ready for the big leagues in 2021.
He came out of the bullpen for the San Francisco Giants that September and tossed 13u2153 scoreless innings (one unearned run) to finish the regular season. The right-hander limited walks and capitalized on strikeout opportunities.
The Detroit Tigers recently signed Castro, who turns 24 in February, to a minor-league contract. He is considered minor-league depth but has enough upside to return to the majors.
Castro, a member of the San Francisco's 2021 National League Division Series roster, took a step backward in 2022.
