Starlin Castro's Administrative Leave Extended
3 years agoWashington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro's administrative leave has been extended through July 29, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Major League Baseball is investigating a domestic-violence allegation against Castro, and general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez both said recently that they don't expect Castro to return to the team this year. That tells fantasy managers in deeper leagues all they need to know regarding Castro, who was hitting a solid .283/.333/.375 with three home runs and 38 RBI on the year for the Nats. He can be dropped in single-year formats and doesn't hold any real value in dynasty/keeper leagues at 31 years of age. Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer should continue sharing time at the hot corner for now, but that could change if Washington decides to trade for a third baseman such as Kris Bryant.
