Castro will start in right field and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The versatile Castro will stick in the lineup for a fifth straight contest while Nicholas Castellanos shifts over to designated hitter in place of a resting Miguel Cabrera. Though Castro has benefited from steady work of late, he's the most likely candidate to lose out on an everyday role with top shortstop Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) making his return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. With Mercer back, Niko Goodrum projects to play second base on a regular basis, leaving no room for Castro at the position he's played most frequently this season.

Castro is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro heads to the bench following seven straight starts, during which he produced five hits across 22 at-bats. Though Ronny Rodriguez will get the nod at second base Saturday, Castro appears to have emerged as the Tigers' primary option at the position for now. Castro could be at risk of moving into a utility role or may even be sent back to Triple-A Toledo once Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) is reinstated from the 10-day injured list, however.

Castro went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Castro singled home a run in the first inning, then followed a Brandon Dixon two-run shot in the third with a solo home run of his own, the first of his MLB career. The 25-year-old has been getting fairly regular playing time lately, and he's slashing .263/.295/.386 through 57 at-bats.

Castro is starting at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's series finale against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the fourth straight start for Castro, who has primarily played at second base but has also gotten time at third and in the outfield. The 25-year-old is slashing just .229/.269/.271 through 17 games, but he should continue to get a look on a rebuilding Tigers team.

Castro is starting at second base and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Castro did not start in Friday's series opener, but he started Saturday at third base and will now shift over to second for the series finale. The 25-year-old infielder has nine hits in 31 at-bats through 12 games at the MLB level this season, and he's stolen a base.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Castro appears to be over a minor oblique issue that kept him out of the big leagues near the end of May when the Tigers needed a middle infielder, so he'll replace Jeimer Candelario (shoulder), who was moved to the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Castro is 5-for-22 with a double over nine games this year with Detroit.

Castro was not called up by the Tigers on Tuesday despite the team needing a middle infielder as he'd recently tweaked his oblique, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Outfielder Victor Reyes wound up being the corresponding move when Josh Harrison (hamstring) landed on the injured list. Castro hasn't been placed on the injured list, so he could still get called up soon if the issue is determined to be minor.

Castro was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro will head back to the minor leagues after hitting .227 with a double in nine games since being promoted April 30. Josh Harrison (shoulder) is set to be activated from the injured list prior to Monday's matchup with the Astros and will take Castro's place on the 25-man roster.

Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Castro will sit with southpaw Martin Perez on the hill for Minnesota, but the 25-year-old looks like he may have a temporary hold on a large-side platoon role. Castro had started six of the Tigers' previous eight games, with his last four appearances coming at second base. He's only managed five hits in 22 at-bats since his promotion from Triple-A Toledo, however, so Castro hasn't done enough yet to warrant much intrigue in the fantasy realm.

Castro will start at second base and bat sixth Thursday against the Angels, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro has recorded just two hits in 12 at-bats since being promoted to the Tigers, but his defensive versatility will earn him his fourth start in the last five games. The 25-year-old saw his first two starts in the outfield, but he'll likely see most of his action in the middle infield moving forward with Christin Stewart (hamstring) healthy again and Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) joining Josh Harrison (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list.
