Castro will start at second base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be filling in for Isaac Paredes, who is day-to-day after picking up a hip injury in Monday's 14-0 win. Castro picked up a start at shortstop for a resting Zack Short on Monday and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run in the blowout victory.

Castro is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Friday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Zack Short started both games of the doubleheader Wednesday the last time the Tigers took the field, but he'll retreat to the bench Friday and give way to Castro. The latter is slashing .262/.320/.305 this season with a home run and 17 RBI in 46 games this season.

Castro went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs and three RBI in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep versus Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The second baseman registered his sixth three-hit performance of the campaign in the Game 1 win, and it was his first such effort since he collected three hits in consecutive games May 18 and 19. Castro played in 17 contests overall in June, struggling to a .146/.226/.250 slash line, one homer and six RBI.

Castro is not starting Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Castro will take a seat as Zack Short starts at shortstop for the third straight game. Castro had previously been splitting time at shortstop with Isaac Paredes, and that could continue to be the case with Short going forward.

Castro will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the White Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro wasn't included in the Tigers' initial lineup for the series finale, but he'll end up cracking the starting nine after Jonathan Schoop was scratched with a sore left hand. Assuming Schoop's injury proves to be a minor concern, Castro will likely transition back into a utility role in the infield during the upcoming week.

Castro is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Castro will get a breather with Chicago sending lefty Carlos Rodon to the mound. Isaac Paredes will man the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale.

Castro went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 15-2 blowout loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Castro accounted for both of Detroit's runs when he took White Sox starter Dylan Cease deep in the first inning. The 27-year-old Castro was also called upon to mop up an inning in the laugher, and he didn't allow a baserunner in the ninth. The utilityman has a .290/.333/.327 slash line with one homer, 13 RBI and seven runs scored across 115 plate appearances. Despite the solid on-base skills, his lack of both power and an everyday role greatly limits Castro's fantasy impact.

Castro (hand) is starting at third base and batting second Friday versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup with a right hand injury, but it's apparently a minor issue given his quick return to the starting nine. Castro has a .306 average through 106 plate appearances, though his lack of pop (one extra-base hit) limits his offensive value.

Castro was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Mariners due to a right hand injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro hurt his right hand during pregame warmups, and he'll be replaced by Isaac Paredes at third base. The 27-year-old is being examined by team doctors, and a better idea of his status going forward could be revealed once the examination is complete.

Castro will start at second base and bat second Thursday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Castro saw a five-game streak with multiple hits come to an end Wednesday with an 0-for-4 showing in the Tigers' 1-0 win, but it won't stop him from getting a third consecutive start. He'll be filling in at second base while the usual starter at the position, Willi Castro, gets a turn as the Tigers' designated hitter.
