The Altoona Curve and West Virginia Power have announced the following moves over the last day:
Altoona
**Orlando Castro placed on the DL, retro July 21st, with left shoulder fatigue. Castro was promoted to Altoona in the last month, but has struggled at the new level. This has been standard for him at a new level, and each time he returns the next year to have success in the rotation. Castro was dealing with some dead arm around early June, and his velocity was at the lower end of his range before being promoted. This is another annual problem for him, and could raise concerns about his durability as a starter over a full season.
**Justin Howard was activated off the Altoona DL and was assigned to Bradenton.
**Matt Benedict was promoted to Altoona from Bradenton.
West Virginia
**Infielder Francisco Aponte and left-handed pitcher Jared LaKind were promoted from Jamestown to West Virginia.
**Outfielder Maximo Rivera was promoted from Bristol to West Virginia.
**Infielders Danny Collins and Chris Diaz, and right-handed pitcher Justin Topa were placed on the West Virginia DL.
