Diagnosed with hamstring strain Castro exited Thursday's game against the Royals due to a left hamstring strain.
Impact Castro appeared to sustain his injury while running to second base on a double in the fourth inning after he hit a solo homer in the second.

Leaves with hamstring issue Castro was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals with an apparent hamstring injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Castro hit a solo homer during the second inning and suffered the hamstring injury while running to second base on his double in the fourth. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, but an absence of any length could end the season for the 25-year-old with only six games left on the schedule.

Productive effort Sunday Castro went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
Impact Castro's seventh home run of the season put the Tigers up 2-1 in the bottom of the first inning, and he also walked and scored in the sixth. The 25-year-old has seen a decent amount of playing time this year, though he hasn't done a ton at the plate with a .240 batting average and .645 OPS. Despite the mediocre offensive production, Castro's ability to play the infield and outfield should keep him in the mix for a meaningful role in 2023.
