Gets one-game ban, will appeal
Major League Baseball issued Castro a one-game suspension Tuesday after violating league policy by having a cell phone in his pocket during an Aug. 9 game against the Diamondbacks,...
Impact
Castro was also fined for the incident, which occurred the same day he was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. The 25-year-old wasn't believed to have been using his phone for any sort of competitive advantage, so he's likely hopeful that an independent party will look more favorably on his situation. Even if the one-game ban is eventually upheld, Castro shouldn't lose too much momentum from what's been an encouraging start since he returned from the minors. Over his six games in August with the Bucs, Castro has gone 8-for-21 with four extra-base hits.

Posts homer and triple
Castro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.
Impact
Castro has gone 4-for-12 with a homer and a pair of triples in four games since he was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. He started the first two contests after his recall at second base, and he picked up a spot start at the hot corner Friday. For the season, the infielder is slashing .217/.286/.386 with a pair of homers, five RBI, eight runs scored, two stolen bases and three triples through 91 plate appearances. If the switch hitter can stay productive with the bat, he should carve out a fairly steady role despite not having a set position.

First hit since return
Castro went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact
Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday and has started both games at second base since. On Wednesday, he tallied a two-out triple in the sixth inning and ultimately came around to score on a double by Greg Allen. Castro has hit only .205/.279/.321 across 86 plate appearances in the majors this season, though it seems as if the Pirates are interested in finding him consistent playing time across the final two months.

Rejoins big-league club
Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and will start at second base Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact
The 23-year-old spent most of May in the majors and posted a .565 OPS in 78 plate appearances before being demoted in early June, and he'll return to the big club ahead of Tuesday's contest sin Arizona. Castro should fill a utility role while up with the Pirates. Cal Mitchell was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A
Castro was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact
Castro has struggled defensively since being recalled May 12, committing five errors over 19 games. He has also struggled from the plate, batting .197 with only four extra-base hits over 71 at-bats. His demotion clears a spot on the major-league roster for Travis Swaggerty, who was called up from Indianapolis on Saturday and will make his MLB debut Sunday.
