Swipes fourth bag Castro went 1-for-3 with one steal in Monday's 2-1 loss against Atlanta.
Impact The 23-year-old added to what has quietly been a strong stretch since being recalled on Aug. 8. His stolen base was his fourth on the season, and his base hit extends his hitting streak to four games. He is now batting .326 since being called up and is looking like he could be a sneaky middle infield option in deeper leagues while he still has the hot hand.

Hitting well since return Castro went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Reds.
Impact Castro delivered an RBI double in the first inning, and he now has consecutive performances with multiple hits and an RBI. Since being recalled on Aug. 9, Castro is hitting .326 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored across 43 at-bats. Most notably, he's striking out at only a 17.4 percent clip in that span. Ke'Bryan Hayes' (back) impending return will take away Castro's path to playing time at third base, but Castro is also capable of playing both second base and shortstop.

Homers in blowout loss Castro went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and one steal in Saturday's 10-1 loss against the Reds.
Impact Castro homered off righty starter Justin Dunn with one out in the fourth to get the Pirates on the board. The second baseman has been finding his groove lately with a .333 average and 1.007 OPS over 36 at-bats in his last 10 games. The 23-year-old has significantly more power on the road with a .500 slugging percentage and six extra-base hits (three triples) in 52 at-bats compared to a .310 slugging percentage and three extra-base hits over 58 at-bats at home.

Path to playing time cleared Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Castro has taken advantage of Ke'Bryan Hayes' (back) absence and appeared in the lineup for six of eight games since being promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis. Hayes will now be sidelined until at least Aug. 24 after being placed on the injured list Tuesday, which should lock Castro in as the primary third baseman in Pittsburgh for the time being. Since returning to the majors, Castro has collected eight hits in 24 at-bats with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored.
