Will be aggressive on basepaths The Rockies are expecting Castro to be aggressive stealing bases this season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Rockies have revamped their front office and many of their coaches this offseason, leading to several new philosophies. One such change will be a focus on aggressiveness on the basepaths in an effort to create more run-scoring opportunities. Castro is among several players on the roster who could benefit, though he's only 24 of 40 on stolen base attempts combined across the last two seasons.

Nets two-year deal from Rockies Castro signed a two-year contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Castro ended the 2025 campaign on a sour note, slashing just .170/.245/.240 over 110 plate appearances after being traded from Minnesota to Chicago at the deadline. Playing 81 games at Coors Field figures to help the 28-year-old's chances of bouncing back at the plate, and his extreme defensive versatility, combined with the Rockies' weak roster, should keep him in the starting lineup nearly every day.

Sitting after three straight starts Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Castro had started in right field in each of the three games, but he'll hit the bench while Seiya Suzuki (illness) returns to the starting nine after missing each of the last five contests. Though the Cubs have an opening in right field while Kyle Tucker (calf) remains on the injured list, manager Craig Counsell could turn to Suzuki to fill the void in order to open up the designated-hitter spot for Moises Ballesteros, who has gone 7-for-18 with a home run, a triple and three walks. Ballesteros will be included in the lineup Wednesday and could be prioritized over Castro while he's swinging the hotter bat of the two.

Idle Wednesday Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Though he could end up getting most of the starts in right field while Kyle Tucker (calf) is on the injured list, Castro will hit the bench after he had been included in the lineup in five of the previous six contests. With Castro taking a seat, the Cubs will open up a spot at designated hitter for Justin Turner, leaving Seiya Suzuki to cover right field.

Cubs beat Braves 6-1 behind Cade Horton's strong outing

Rookie Cade Horton threw 6 1/3 strong innings, Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs and the Chicago Cubs pulled away from the Atlanta Braves late for a 6-1 win Tuesday night
SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • Associated Press
Filling spot in right Castro is starting in right field and batting seventh in Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Castro will cover right field on the day Kyle Tucker heads to the injured list due to a left calf strain, per Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic. With Tucker also out of the lineup Monday, it was Seiya Suzuki getting the start in right, Castro playing center field and Pete Crow-Armstrong getting a rest defensively as the DH. Crow-Armstrong figures to patrol center most days moving forward with Suzuki as the DH, which could open up right for Castro while Tucker is on the shelf. Chicago also called up Moises Ballesteros from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday to provide outfield depth. Castro is batting just .164 in 24 games for the Cubs, but his playing time and fantasy value could get a temporary boost with Tucker on the IL.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Swipes base, collects RBI in loss Castro went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Castro had one of just four Chicago hits and drove in the Cubs' only run in the bottom of the second inning. The utility player also recorded his 10th stolen base of the year in 13 attempts. It's the second straight season that Castro has reached double figures in both steals and home runs. That gives the 28-year-old some fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup, though he has struggled since coming over to Chicago at the trade deadline, posting a .159 batting average and .410 OPS in 21 games with his new team.
