HAROLD CASTRO NEWS

Sits again Sunday Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact After starting four consecutive games heading into the weekend, Castro has now been on the bench for two of the Tigers' three games in Kansas City this weekend. Willi Castro looks set to serve as the Tigers' regular second baseman while Niko Goodrum (calf) and Isaac Paredes (hip) are on the shelf, resulting in Harold Castro serving as more of a utility man.

Impact Castro will receive his fourth start in a row after going 6-for-9 with a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI across the Tigers' previous three contests. Though he'll be filling in for a resting Miguel Cabrera on Thursday, Castro could be an option to step in as Detroit's primary second baseman after Isaac Paredes (hip) joined Niko Goodrum (calf) on the 10-day injured list ahead of the series finale with Texas.

Starting after all Castro will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the White Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Castro wasn't included in the Tigers' initial lineup for the series finale, but he'll end up cracking the starting nine after Jonathan Schoop was scratched with a sore left hand. Assuming Schoop's injury proves to be a minor concern, Castro will likely transition back into a utility role in the infield during the upcoming week.

Smacks first homer Castro went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 15-2 blowout loss to the White Sox.

Impact Castro accounted for both of Detroit's runs when he took White Sox starter Dylan Cease deep in the first inning. The 27-year-old Castro was also called upon to mop up an inning in the laugher, and he didn't allow a baserunner in the ninth. The utilityman has a .290/.333/.327 slash line with one homer, 13 RBI and seven runs scored across 115 plate appearances. Despite the solid on-base skills, his lack of both power and an everyday role greatly limits Castro's fantasy impact.

Back in action Friday Castro (hand) is starting at third base and batting second Friday versus the White Sox.

Impact The 27-year-old was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup with a right hand injury, but it's apparently a minor issue given his quick return to the starting nine. Castro has a solid .306 averaged through 106 plate appearances, though his lack of pop (one extra-base hit) limits his offensive value.
