Castano was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Castano was hit hard in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers and has posted a 4.72 ERA and 5:5 K:BB in 13.1 innings to begin the season. He'll now attempt to sort things out at the team's alternate training site. The Marlins haven't indicated who could take Castano's place in the rotation, but Nick Neidert could be an option to start in the near future.

Doval pitched one inning and allowed an inherited runner to score with one walk to earn a hold in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.

Doval entered the contest after starter Alex Wood got into trouble by allowing the first four batters in the seventh inning to reach base. The 23-year-old Doval allowed one inherited runner to score on a double play before escaping the jam. The right-hander is up to three holds and a blown save in five appearances. He also has a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB across his first five major-league innings.

Treinen struck out three and yielded one hit in an inning of work, earning a hold in Wednesday's 8-0 victory over Cincinnati.

The righty has allowed just one earned run since a rough first outing of the season in which he yielded two. Treinen's ERA has been gradually declining, and it now sits at 2.70 through 10 innings pitched. His sinker, cutter and slider all boast elite movement and will keep him among baseball's best relievers as long as he commands them down in the zone. Further, playing for a winning team in the Dodgers will present plenty of hold opportunities, especially in the absence of Corey Knebel (lat).

Manager Jayce Tingler said after the Padres' 12-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday that Weathers is dealing with joint inflammation in his left arm, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Weathers tossed a scoreless first inning before exiting his start with what the Padres initially termed as left arm soreness, with Tingler clarifying afterward that the rookie isn't dealing with any ligament damage and is instead experiencing a case of "dead arm." Tingler noted that after starting the game with his velocity sitting in the 92-to-93 mile-per-hour range, Weathers dropped to around 87 or 88 before his night ended early. The Padres are hopeful that after receiving some treatment, Weathers will be able to make his next start, which would likely come next Tuesday against the Pirates.

Neris did not allow a baserunner and struck out one to earn the save Wednesday.

Neris made quick work of the Cardinals, as he required only nine pitches to set down the side and record his fifth save. He's been excellent from both a results (1.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 10.2 innings) and skills perspective early on this season and is locked into save chances for the time being.

Weathers was removed from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with left arm soreness.

The 21-year-old delivered a scoreless first inning Wednesday, but he was visited by the athletic trainer while showing decreased velocity and was pulled after the frame. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it could be another tough blow for an already depleted pitching staff. Weathers' status for his next turn through the rotation will remain up in the air until more information is available.

Wilson will start Thursday against the Cubs on three days rest, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 21-year-old is expected to cover a few innings as a pseudo-opener for Thursday's series finale after starting Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader and throwing 61 pitches across four innings. Wilson has allowed five runs on 11 hits with a 5:3 K:BB through nine innings this season.

Lamet (forearm tightness) could start Sunday's game against the Giants, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

It would be shocking to see Lamet take the hill this weekend after exiting a start April 21 with forearm tightness, but he threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday and he appears to be much closer to a return than originally anticipated. Even if he does start, it seems unlikely that he would log a full starter's workload in his first game back.

Santos was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Santos is going to be an important part of San Francisco's bullpen later this season and in future years, but the team is going to ease him into that role. He will get more seasoning against minor-league competition in the short term but should be back up sometime in the coming weeks.

Gonzalez (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Gonzalez was dealing with COVID-19 vaccine side effects Tuesday, but he'll be available once again Wednesday. Outfielder DJ Peters was sent down in a corresponding move.
