Sitting again Sunday
Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
Castro will be on the bench for a second straight game after a lackluster start to his time with the Rockies. While starting in 13 of Colorado's first 15 contests, Castro has slashed a pedestrian .220/.278/.340 with one home run, one stolen base, seven RBI and eight runs across 54 plate appearances. Edouard Julien will make a start at the keystone in place of Castro, which opens the designated hitter spot up for Hunter Goodman.

Out of Saturday's lineup
Castro isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
Castro will get a chance to recollect himself Saturday after going 1-for-9 with a run scored and six strikeouts over the first two games of the series. While he sits, Edouard Julien will pick up a start at second base.

Records first steal
Castro went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.
Analysis
Castro has hit safely in four of the last five games, with Friday's effort helping to wash out the taste of his five-strikeout performance from Thursday. The utility man typically doesn't add much power, so he'll need to make steady contact to add value in fantasy. Over 13 games this season, he's batting .224 with a .630 OPS, one home run, seven RBI, eight runs scored, three doubles and one steal in two attempts. Castro is primarily seeing time in the infield but has past experience in the outfield.

Receiving first day off of 2026
Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Analysis
Castro will head to the bench for the first time in 2026 after making starts at all four infield spots through Colorado's first 11 games of the season. With Castro bowing out of the lineup for the series finale, Edouard Julien will enter the starting nine at the keystone.

Produces three RBI in win
Castro went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a 5-1 win against Houston on Tuesday.
Analysis
Castro put the Rockies on the board with a run-scoring single in the second inning and added a 436-foot, two-run blast in the fourth. The long ball was his first of the campaign, though he also has three doubles among his 10 overall hits. Castro has logged at least one start at each infield position already this season and is slashing .250/.318/.400 with seven RBI while maintaining an everyday role in the lineup.
