Willi Castro - Page 27 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back on bench Castro will sit Friday against the Twins.

Impact Castro hasn't been able to come anywhere close to repeating his excellent .349/.381/.550 line from last season, as he's hitting just .215/.279/.340 on the season. That strong 2020 performance came with a .448 BABIP, so it's no surprise to see he's fallen off, but he's been particularly poor over his last 26 games, posting an OPS of just .527. Jonathan Schoop will be the second baseman Friday.

Starting Friday Castro is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Willi Castro gets the keystone while Harold Castro starts at shortstop. The Tigers have a bit of a crowded middle infield at the moment, with the two Castros in the mix along with Zach Short and Jonathan Schoop. Willi Castro should maintain something of a regular role, though he's struggling a bit offensively (.647 OPS) and could get some days off as Detroit manager A.J. Hinch rotates players into the lineup.

Blasts fifth homer in win Castro went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Monday's 10-3 win over the Royals.

Impact Castro's two-run shot off Brad Keller was his second of June and fifth on the season, leaving him one shy of matching his career-best total from 2020. The 24-year-old maintains hold of an everyday role at second base, but his .643 OPS on the season probably doesn't afford him much job security.

He's struggled overall this season with a slash line of .231/.295/369 with four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases. That said, he should continue to remain a regular fixture in the lineup as long as he's healthy.

Provides all the offense Thursday Castro went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Chicago starter Lance Lynn cruised through six innings but not before Castro popped his fourth home run of the season in the fifth. The 24-year-old infielder has mostly struggled this season after a breakout 2020, as he's seen his OPS fall from .931 to .629. The 23-33 Tigers figure to keep giving Castro plenty of opportunities, however, as they build for the future.
