Willi

Castro

Castro has missed the last four games with a knee injury, but he’ll be back in the lineup at second base and hitting fifth on Wednesday. Since a left-hander pitcher is on the mound, Edouard Julien will shift to the bench, as will Troy Johnston and Jake McCarthy, with Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle in the lineup and batting first and second, respectively.

Castro, 29, has not been able to play since Thursday because of soreness in his right knee. The veteran infielder will take a seat with Edouard Julien once again starting at second base and hitting leadoff.

Castro was removed from Thursday’s game after two innings due to soreness in his right knee. It sounds like he has been playing through the injury for a while now, though it doesn’t appear that a trip to the injured list is imminent. Tyler Freeman will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat cleanup for the Rockies against Mets’ right-hander Freddy Peralta.

It’s unclear when exactly the injury occurred. Castro had just missed three games at the end of last week due to a hand injury that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch. It sounds like it should be another day-to-day situation, but the Rockies should have an update on his status after the conclusion of Thursday’s ballgame.

Castro missed each of the team’s previous three ballgames due to a lingering hand issue after he was hit by a pitch earlier in the week. The versatile 28-year-old has struggled at the plate to open the 2026 campaign, slashing .214/.279/.339 with just one homer, eight RBI and one stolen base in his first 61 plate appearances.

Castro has been dealing with a lingering hand issue after being hit by a pitch earlier this week. Edouard Julien takes over at second base to face Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan. It’s possible Castro winds up requiring a trip to the injured list if he’s not ready to go by the end of the weekend.

It’s the second straight game that the versatile 28-year-old has missed due to a sore hand. The good news is that he has yet to be placed on the injured list, meaning the Rockies still think it’s a day-to-day type of injury. Expect him to return to action at some point over the weekend.

Castro was lifted from Wednesday’s game after being drilled on the hand by a Spencer Arrighetti fastball. Fortunately, imaging revealed no structural damage and he’s considered day-to-day. Tyler Freeman will draw a start in right field and will bat second against Ryan Weiss and the Astros on Thursday evening in Houston.

Castro was hit by a Spencer Arrighetti pitch, but X-rays were negative. He’s considered day-to-day. Tyler Freeman replaced him tonight and will probably start Thursday if Castro can’t go.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 24-year-old shortstop. Utilityman extraordinaire Willi Castro will cover the position in his stead and bat sixth for the Rockies against Randy Vasquez and the Padres.
