Playing time trending down Castro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Castro will remain on the bench for the second straight contest, after having previously made four consecutive starts heading into Sunday. Now that Niko Goodrum is back from the injured list and ready to assume an everyday role at shortstop, Castro looks poised to settle into a utility role that will afford him only a handful of starts per week.

Lowrie, Canha help A's start fast in 8-6 win over Tigers

Manning expected to start as Detroit hosts Oakland

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • Associated Press
Pops sixth home run Castro went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
Impact Castro may not have a regular, everyday position with the Tigers, but the 27-year-old continues to hit when given a chance. He batted .300 in 2018, albeit in just six games, then followed that up by hitting .291 in 2019 and .347 during the condensed 2020 slate. This season, Castro is now batting .281 after the three-hit effort. He doesn't offer a ton of extra-base power and profiles as more of a singles hitter, but he's capable of good stat lines when he strings a few hits together.

On bench against lefty Castro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact The lefty-hitting Castro will take a seat with southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill for Oakland. Castro's platoon mate, Zack Short, will pick up the start at shortstop, but the former should continue to pick up the bulk of the work at the position until Niko Goodrum (groin) returns from the injured list.

The lefty-hitting Castro still looks to be occupying the strong side of a platoon at the position with Zack Short, who picks up his fourth consecutive start Sunday.

Not starting Friday Castro is out of the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting Thursday Castro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Impact Willi Castro will step in at shortstop for Harold Castro, who started each of the past three games at the position while going 2-for-10 at the plate. Until the Tigers return outfielders Derek Hill (rib) and Akil Baddoo (concussion) from the 10-day injured list -- which will likely result in Willi Castro moving back to the infield -- Harold Castro should have a path to a near-everyday role.

Records lone hit Sunday Castro went 1-for-3 with a single in Sunday's 11-0 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Castro's line wasn't anything remarkable, but his eighth inning single ended Triston McKenzie's perfect game bid after 23 straight outs and ended up being Detroit's only hit of the afternoon. Castro has been a consistently solid contact hitter for the Tigers, as he's batting .272 this season after hitting .347 last year and .291 in 2019, so it's not too surprising that he was the one to spoil the chance at history. The 27-year-old has been seeing regular work at shortstop recently with Niko Goodrum (groin) on the injured list.
