Chicago White Sox return Welington Castillo to active roster

The Chicago White Sox recalled catcher Welington Castillo from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, activating him from the 10-day disabled list ahead of their series finale against the Boston Red Sox.

Castillo was placed on the DL with right shoulder inflammation after recently completing his 80-game suspension for a positive drug test.

Castillo became the first White Sox player to be suspended for PEDs since drug testing was implemented in 2004 when he accepted his ban for a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance erythropoietin (EPO) on May 24.

In 10 games with Charlotte this season, Castillo hit .189 with three RBIs and 11 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances.

Castillo, 31, is hitting .267 with six home runs and 15 RBIs in 33 games with Chicago this season. He joined the White Sox on a two-year, $15 million contract in the offseason. The deal includes an $8 million option for 2020.
