Willi Castro Returns to Rockies Lineup Against Reds
Colorado Rockies infielder Willi Castro (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, starting at second base and batting fifth against left-hander Brandon Williamson, according to MLB.com. It's the first time that Castro will be part of the team's starting nine since last Thursday, when he was removed from the game against the San Diego Padres with right-knee soreness. The 29-year-old has mostly been a regular for the Rockies between second and third base when he's been healthy, although he's contributed little for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. The Puerto Rican switch-hitter has gone 17-for-69 (.246) with a homer, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 22 games played. He could eventually lose out on playing time to both Edouard Julien and Tyler Freeman in Denver. Castro is rostered in just 11% of Yahoo leagues, and he's never faced Williamson in his career.
