Castro went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Tuesday in the Tigers' 5-0 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Castro has now turned in multi-hit efforts in five of his last seven contests, lifting his season average to .323. Given that the Detroit offense that's been one of MLB's least-productive units this season, Castro could be in store for an enhanced role while he's wielding a hot bat.

Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Castro had started three of the past four games for Detroit, producing eight hits -- all singles -- in 14 at-bats over that stretch. The 27-year-old still looks set to remain in a utility role for the time being, but he could get a longer trial in an everyday role if primary second baseman Willi Castro (.570 OPS) continues to languish.

Castro is starting at shortstop and batting second in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Castro started in center field Saturday and went 3-for-4, and the Tigers will reward him with another start in the series finale. The 27-year-old is batting .302 so far this season, so he could continue to earn playing time at the expense of players such as Niko Goodrum, who is on the bench Sunday, and Willi Castro.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Castro has posted back-to-back three-hit games, and those two appearances have allowed him to leave a 3-for-20 slump in the rearview. The utility has been seeing the ball well all season long, though, and he's still hitting .302 in 2021.

Castro went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Making the start at second base, Castro recorded his second three-hit performance of the season. The 27-year-old is more of a utility player off the bench at this point, though Detroit is in need of all the offensive production it can muster, so Castro could earn more playing time if he gets hot at the plate.

Castro is starting at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Willi Castro heads to the bench Sunday, with Niko Goodrum getting shortstop and Harold Castro entering the lineup at second. The latter is slashing .226/.314/.226 through 16 games, which is well below the .347/.407/.429 line he posted across 22 games last season.

Castro is starting at second base and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Castro gets the nod at second with the slumping Niko Goodrum heading to the bench. Castro is batting .294 in limited action this year, but he also batted .347 last year and .291 back in 2019, so the 27-year-old has shown that he's capable of collecting plenty of hits at the MLB level.

Castro went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Castro collected half of the team's hits and drove in both Detroit runs, which were his first two RBI of the season. The utility man hasn't been playing a ton, as he came into Sunday with only 10 at-bats, but he's shown himself to be a capable hitter when given opportunities, as he posted a .291 batting average in 2019 and a .347 mark last season in a reserve role.
