Castro, 28, landed on the IL on April 24 with a right oblique strain. He is batting .227 with one homer and five RBIs in 18 games this season.

An All-Star in 2024, Castro is a .247 career hitter with 46 homers and 200 RBIs in 603 games with the Detroit Tigers (2019-22) and Twins.

In corresponding moves, the Twins optioned utility player Mickey Gasper and infielder Edouard Julien to St. Paul.
