Exits with injury Castro left Saturday's game against the Royals with right shoulder soreness.
Impact The injury doesn't sound particularly serious, but with the season ending Sunday, it's quite possible Castro has already played in his final game of the campaign. Brandon Dixon entered the game in his absence.

Productive game Thursday Castro went 3-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Royals.
Impact Castro didn't start the season on the MLB roster, but he's been productive since joining the Tigers in the middle of August. The 23-year-old infielder now has a .944 OPS, six home runs and 23 RBI in 34 games. His solid play figures to earn him a starting job on Opening Day next year for a Detroit team that is evaluating a number of younger players.

Starting at short Saturday Castro is starting at shortstop and batting fifth in Saturday's game against the Twins.
Impact Niko Goodrum (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, so Castro is likely to play regularly at shortstop while the former is out. The 23-year-old has performed well so far this season, slashing .333/.340/.529, and he should continue to see playing time even after Goodrum returns.

Collects three hits Wednesday Castro went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Brewers.
Impact All three hits were singles, but fantasy managers will take the production from the youngster, who is now batting a robust .364 with a .960 OPS. Castro started at shortstop in this one with Niko Goodrum (abdomen) resting, but Goodrum should be able to reenter the lineup as soon as Friday when the Tigers play again. However, Castro is certainly making the case for more playing time with his strong play so far.
