Lands on injured list
The Rockies placed Castro on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left heel inflammation, retroactive to Wednesday.
Analyse
Castro has sat out the Rockies' last three games while managing plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and he'll now officially remain out until at least next Saturday as he recovers. Vimael Machin will come up from Triple-A to replenish Colorado's infield depth, though Connor Norby and Ryan Ritter are more likely to benefit from additional playing time.

Dealing with foot injury
Castro is not in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals due to plantar fasciitis, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analyse
It's not clear when the injury flared up for Castro. He's being evaluated by medical staff, and the Rockies should have an update on the 29-year-old utility man over the coming days. He is slashing .260/.331/.417 with 10 steals, 15 home runs and 56 RBI over 477 plate appearances this season.

Playing time drying up
Castro is out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cardinals.
Analyse
It marks the third consecutive absence from the lineup for Castro, who had started 11 straight and 22 of 23 games prior to this three-game playing-time drought. Castro has an .828 second-half OPS, so this could simply be about the Rockies giving younger players a look. Adael Amador will play second base and Connor Norby will be at third base Friday.

Exiting starting nine
Castro is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Orioles.
Analyse
It's unclear whether Castro is banged up, but this will be his second straight day on the bench after he had started the previous 11 contests. Connor Norby is handling third base for the Rockies.
