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.

Starting at second Sunday Castro is starting at second base and batting second in Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Regular second baseman Jonathan Schoop is out of the lineup Sunday for the first time all season, and the team is reporting it's due to a sore hamstring, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. The issue is not believed to be serious, but Castro could play more at the keystone if Schoop misses any more time.

Slugs second homer Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Cleveland.

Starting again at third Castro is starting at third base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact With news that C.J. Cron (knee) will have season-ending surgery, Castro could end up as the team's primary third baseman moving forward, with Jeimer Candelario slotting in at first. This will be Castro's third consecutive start at the hot corner. Harold Castro and Dawel Lugo could see some playing time there as well, but the job could belong to Willi Castro if he plays well.

Opportunity for increased role Castro could serve as the Tigers' primary third baseman going forward after C.J. Cron (knee) elected to have season-ending surgery Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact With Cron sidelined for the remainder of the season, manager Ron Gardenhire said that Jeimer Candelario will serve as the primary first baseman. As a result, Castro could have the opportunity to get the bulk of playing time at the hot corner if he continues to play well and get more comfortable at the position. The 23-year-old is starting at third base against Cleveland on Saturday, batting second.

Starting at third Friday Castro is starting at third base and batting sixth in Friday's game against Cleveland.

Impact During his first taste of the majors last season, Castro exclusively played shortstop, but he's now getting his second start of 2020 at third base. In his first start, the 23-year-old delivered three hits. The Tigers are missing C.J. Cron (knee) at the moment, which has pushed regular third baseman Jeimer Candelario over to first. That could open up an everyday spot at the hot corner for Castro if he continues to produce at the plate.

Cubs top Tribe 7-2; Chicago's 12-3 start is best in 50 years

AUGUST 13, 2020 • Associated Press

Provides immediate impact Castro went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact The 23-year-old was recalled by the Tigers on Tuesday and collected three hits in his first start of the season. Castro had a .230/.284/.340 slash line in 30 games last season, and he's most likely to receive opportunities at third base (where he started Wednesday).
