The Los Angeles Angels<\/a> of Anaheim have made an effort to bolster their bullpen with a new signing on Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to MLB insider Jon Heyman<\/a>, Miguel Castro is coming to the Angels on a minor league contract, which will presumably have an invite to big league spring training.<\/p>\n

Castro is a 6-foot-7, 31-year old right-hander originally from the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n

He came up through the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>‘ system as a starter, but he has made only four starts in his MLB career.<\/p>\n

Castros has pitched for the Blue Jays, Rockies, Orioles, Mets, Yankees, Diamondbacks and White Sox.<\/p>\n

He had a rough 2025, getting only six games in at the MLB level with Chicago and allowing five earned runs in 6.0 innings.<\/p>\n

His career ERA is a more palatable 4.24.<\/p>\n

Castro strikes out 8.0 batters per nine innings in his MLB career, although his 4.6 walks per nine has held him back.<\/p>\n

Aside from his time with the White Sox in 2025, Castro pitched in 17 games with Triple-A Sugar Land (Astros system), where he had a 2.29 ERA.<\/p>\n

He has pitched in the Dominican Winter League this offseason and has a 6.14 ERA in eight outings for Toros.<\/p>\n

There’s no guarantee Castro amounts to anything for the Angels, but he has just enough history of success at the MLB level that it was a worthwhile flier to take on a low-risk signing.<\/p>\n
