Castro will bat second and start at third base Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Adonis Garcia was originally slated to start, but the everyday third baseman was scratched due to a left knee contusion. To fill his spot, Castro will enter the lineup. His batting average isn't great at .250, but he has gotten a hit in both games he's started this season, so he'll look to continue that trend Wednesday.

Castro is in the lineup and batting second for Friday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Castro is 1-for-1 to start 2016 and will make his first start of the season in place of Erick Aybar. He has hit lefties significantly better than righties in his young career, so a matchup with Marlins' southpaw Wei-Yin Chen could prove favorable.

Castro is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Despite reports earlier Wednesday that Castro could immediately move into the starting lineup at shortstop, the Braves will delay that plan for at least one day. Erick Aybar will get the start once again at shortstop, but Castro could move into the lineup there and Aybar could slide over to second base. Castro was slashing .333/.375/.381 in 21 at-bats at Triple-A Gwinnett before being recalled Wednesday.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hector Olivera's placement on Administrative Leave on Wednesday opened a spot on the active roster for Castro. Olivera will be on leave for the foreseeable future, which could give Castro a chance at sticking at the major league level. That said, Jeff Francoeur and Kelly Johnson will likely platoon in Olivera's old spot in left field, while Castro will likely serve as a depth option in the infield.

Castro was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll likely begin the season as a regular in the minors, with the hope of pushing his way back to Atlanta if injuries deplete the team's veteran depth ahead of him.

Castro is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jace Peterson was listed as the starting second baseman initially, but apparently the team posted the wrong lineup. It will be Castro at the keystone, batting second, against right-hander Jose Fernandez. Castro is 9-for-38 (.237 average) with two extra-base hits, one walk and eight strikeouts so far this month.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
