Castellano picked up a save in Sunday's 23-9 blowout win over the Athletics with three scoreless frames in his major-league debut. He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Victor Vodnik (elbow) from the injured list. Castellano is likely to be used as a starting pitcher and/or bulk reliever at Albuquerque.

Castellano's big-league debut saw him mop up the last three innings of a blowout win to preserve the rest of the Rockies' bullpen. The 25-year-old has had a strong effort in the minors this season, posting a 2.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 53:27 K:BB across 53 innings over 10 starts for Double-A Hartford. He also made a scoreless six-inning relief appearance at Triple-A Albuquerque before his call-up to the majors Saturday. Castellano threw 35 pitches (24 strikes) in Sunday's outing, so he may be able to stick around the big club rather than being immediately optioned out again. He's in the bullpen for now, but if he thrives in a multi-inning role, he could be a candidate for spot starts later in the year.

Castellano has spent most of the season at Double-A Hartford, though he made his last appearance at Albuquerque and pitched six shutout innings while striking out seven batters and allowing three men to reach base. The 25-year-old will now get a chance to show what he can do in the majors while presumably working in a long-relief role. Jeff Criswell was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Castellano on the active roster, and Valente Bellozo was outrighted to Albuquerque to free up a 40-man spot.
