Yankees' Kervin Castro: Shifted to 60-day injured list

Rotowire ·

The Yankees transferred Castro (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

Analysis:

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Fulmer, who signed a one-year contract. Castro hit the shelf in mid-August due to right elbow neuritis, and Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports that the 27-year-old is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the near future to determine whether surgery is necessary to address the injury. Even if Castro is able to avoid a procedure, his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season.
