Retreats to bench Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Castro had started three of the past four games for Detroit, producing eight hits -- all singles -- in 14 at-bats over that stretch. The 27-year-old still looks set to remain in a utility role for the time being, but he could get a longer trial in an everyday role if primary second baseman Willi Castro (.570 OPS) continues to languish.

Starting again Sunday Castro is starting at shortstop and batting second in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Castro started in center field Saturday and went 3-for-4, so the Tigers will reward him with another start in the series finale. The 27-year-old is batting .302 so far this season, so he could continue to earn playing time at the expense of players such as Niko Goodrum, who is on the bench Sunday, and Willi Castro.

Records three hits Castro went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's win over the Twins.

Productive in Thursday loss Castro went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Making the start at second base, Castro recorded his second three-hit performance of the season. The 27-year-old is more of a utility player off the bench at this point, though Detroit is in need of all the offensive production it can muster, so Castro could earn more playing time if he gets hot at the plate.

Starting Saturday Castro is starting at second base and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Castro gets the nod at second with the slumping Niko Goodrum heading to the bench. Castro is batting .294 in limited action this year, but he also batted .347 last year and .291 back in 2019, so the 27-year-old has shown that he's capable of collecting plenty of hits at the MLB level.
