Rodolfo Castro Belts Fifth Home Run Of The Season
11 months agoPittsburgh Pirates infielder Rodolfo Castro went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and two runs scored in a 8-0 rout of the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. There could be a path to fantasy relevance starting to clear for the 23-year-old. Ji Hwan Bae's bat continues to trend down (5-for-30 in last two weeks) following a wild start in the running game. Even former first-rounder Ke'Bryan Hayes has continued a free fall (.618 OPS this season) since a tantalizing 2020. Castro, on the other hand, is quietly slashing .260/.366/.452 with five long balls and 16 RBI across only 104 at-bats this year. Keep an eye on the switch-hitter's playing time in deep leagues as he aims to build off Wednesday's results during a weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
