Starlin Castro

Starlin Castro (hamstring) could be activated Friday for Yankees

New York Yankees second baseman/shortstop Starlin Castro could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Friday.

What It Means:

In addition to Castro, the Yankees might get Greg Bird back as well. However, Castro is less likely to be back on Friday but he's also close to a major league return. When he does make the comeback, he'll surely return to second base, kicking Tyler Wade and Ronald Torreyes to the bench.

With 8 hits -- including a homer -- over 25 plate appearances and 6 rehab starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, numberFire's models expect Castro to add 3 home runs, 5 doubles and 12 RBI over the remainder of the season.
