Starlin Castro (hamstring) returns to action for Yankees
New York Yankees infielder Starlin Castro (hamstring) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
What It Means:
Castro is ready for starting duties after serving as a pinch-hitter on Monday. He's starting at second and cleaning things up for the Yankees against southpaw David Price. The 26-year-old was sidelined for 10 days with a right hamstring strain.
Castro is having a solid first season in New York, slashing .273/.304/.439 with a .316 wOBA over 594 plate appearances. He has a career-best 21 homers, but his 19.5 percent strikeout rate is also the highest of his career.
