Castillo was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Mets in exchange for cash Thursday, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.
Castillo was cast off Arizona's 40-man roster Monday but found a new home quickly. He has only 46.2 innings in the majors since debuting in 2018, so he'll likely fill a depth role in his new organization.

Diamondbacks' Jose Castillo: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks designated Castillo for assignment Monday.
Castillo will lose his spot in the Arizona bullpen with the Diamondbacks activating right-hander Kendall Graveman (back) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. After getting called up from Triple-A Reno on May 1, Castillo filled a low-leverage relief role and gave up eight earned runs on 10 hits and three walks in 6.1 innings across five appearances. The 29-year-old lefty is likely to clear waivers and will have the option of either accepting an outright assignment to Reno or electing free agency.

Diamondbacks' Jose Castillo: Makes 2025 debut
Rotowire
Castillo (adductor) was activated from the 7-day injured list and recorded two strikeouts across a scoreless inning Saturday for Triple-A Reno.
Castillo began the season on the injured list due to left adductor tightness, but he's since been given the green light to return to the mound. He entered spring camp as a non-roster invitee before going down with the injury, so he could be an option for a mid-season promotion if he pitches well at Triple-A.

Diamondbacks' Jose Castillo: Debuts for Triple-A club
Rotowire
Castillo (hand) has given up three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings in three appearances since being reinstated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list July 19.
Castillo opened the season on Reno's IL after suffering a hand injury in spring training. He began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in late May, but he was pulled off the assignment after just one appearance. It's unclear if Castillo experienced a setback with the hand injury or was contending with a new injury, but he was cleared to resume the rehab assignment six weeks later before he finally got the green light to join the Triple-A club. Castillo has previously made 40 relief appearances at the big-league level from 2018 through 2023, but he looks to be a long ways away from getting a look in the Arizona bullpen.
