Out with knee discomfort Castro was placed on the 10-day injured list with left knee discomfort Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Castro's initial diagnosis of discomfort suggests he shouldn't miss too much time, though the Astros have yet to give a precise timeline for his return. Korey Lee was recalled to back up Martin Maldonado behind the plate.

Swats clutch homer Castro went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mets.
Impact Castro broke a scoreless tie in the ninth inning when he went yard for the first time this season. Though it was a clutch hit, Castro has been abysmal at the dish for the campaign by maintaining a .115/.205/.179 line across 88 plate appearances.

Struggling in June Castro went 1-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the White Sox.
Impact Castro reached base on a leadoff single in the fifth inning and came around to score on a Mauricio Dubon home run. He remains firmly behind Martin Maldonado on the Astros' catching depth chart, as Sunday marked Castro's third start in the team's last nine games. Castro hasn't made the case for an increased role by hitting only .118 across 17 at-bats in June. Overall, he's hitting .108 on the season with five runs scored and one RBI.

Starts for while Maldonado rests Castro will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Castro will get his second start in three games, but he doesn't seem to be encroaching on No. 1 catcher Martin Maldonado's role in any dramatic way. In order to do so, Castro may need to pick up the pace at the plate, where he's been a major disappointment after supplying a .799 OPS across 179 plate appearances in 2021. He enters Tuesday's contest with a .102/.206/.136 slash line and has struck out in a whopping 45.6 percent of his plate appearances.
