Sitting again Sunday Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Castro will be on the bench for a second straight game after a lackluster start to his time with the Rockies. While starting in 13 of Colorado's first 15 contests, Castro has slashed a pedestrian .220/.278/.340 with one home run, one stolen base, seven RBI and eight runs across 54 plate appearances. Edouard Julien will make a start at the keystone in place of Castro, which opens the designated-hitter spot up for Hunter Goodman.

Out of Saturday's lineup Castro isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Records first steal Castro went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

Impact Castro has hit safely in four of the last five games, with Friday's effort helping to wash out the taste of his five-strikeout performance from Thursday. The utility man typically doesn't add much power, so he'll need to make steady contact to add value in fantasy. Over 13 games this season, he's batting .224 with a .630 OPS, one home run, seven RBI, eight runs scored, three doubles and one steal on two attempts. Castro is primarily seeing time in the infield but has past experience in the outfield if he's needed there later in the year.
