The Miami Marlins designated left-hander Daniel Castano on Thursday to make room for the newly signed Johnny Cueto.
The Marlins made the Cueto signing official Thursday. He signed a one-year deal worth a reported $8.5 million.
Castano, 28, went 1-3 with a 4.04 ERA in 10 games (seven starts) last season for the Marlins. He was acquired by the Marlins in the trade that sent Marcell Ozuna to St. Louis in December 2017.
He went 2-7 with a 3.89 ERA in 22 games (17 starts) for Miami in three seasons.
A two-time All-Star, Cueto is 143-107 with a 3.44 ERA in 355 games (353 starts) with four teams.
