When Welington Castillo was healthy enough to play baseball, the Washington Nationals didn’t need him at the big league level. When the Nationals did need an extra catcher, Castillo was not available. He was a part of the Nationals the past two seasons, though after opting out in 2020, played in just 11 games for the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings in 2021.
