Starlin Castro Not Expected To Return This Season
3 years agoWashington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said the team is proceeding as if infielder Starlin Castro will not return this season amidst his domestic-violence allegations. Major League Baseball placed the veteran infielder on administrative leave last week, and it sounds as though he'll remain on that list for the foreseeable future, much like Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Trevor Bauer's situation. If Castro's season is indeed over, he'll finish with a .283/.333/.375 slash line, three home runs and 38 RBI in 346 plate appearances. There's no reason to hang onto him in redraft leagues. Unless the Nats swing a trade for a third baseman at the trade deadline, Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer will likely continue to share playing time at the hot corner in D.C.
