Twins' Willi Castro: Three hits in Wednesday's win
Castro went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.
He was also caught stealing, but it was still a productive night for the super-utility player, who was getting the start at second base and batting third. It was Castro's first multi-hit performance since June 15, as he was bothered by a sore wrist in late June, but he's made up for a lack of punch at the plate by getting busier on the basepaths -- half of his six steals on the season have come in the last five games.

Twins' Willi Castro: Making return to lineup
Castro (wrist) will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
A sore right wrist had kept Castro out of the lineup for each of the previous three games, but he felt well enough to appear off the bench in Tuesday's 6-5 loss. He checked out fine after going 0-for-2 while playing three innings at second base Tuesday and will now pick up his first start since Saturday. He'll occupy third base in place of a resting Brooks Lee on Wednesday, but Castro could end up seeing most of his playing time at the keystone or in the corner outfield moving forward.

Twins' Willi Castro: Appears as pinch hitter
Castro (wrist) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and played three innings at second base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.
Castro entered the game in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter in place of Kody Clemens in what was the former's first appearance since Saturday. Assuming Castro's right wrist didn't provide any complications in his cameo off the bench, he could re-enter the starting nine Wednesday.

Twins' Willi Castro: Sitting again Tuesday
Castro (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
The veteran super-utility man hasn't seen the field since Saturday due to the wrist injury, which is an issue he initially played through before exiting the lineup. Castro had X-rays come back negative Sunday, though he'll still sit for a third consecutive game Tuesday. Kody Clemens is starting at second base while Harrison Bader handles left field for Minnesota.

Twins' Willi Castro: Set to miss at least one more game
Castro expects to miss at least one or two more games with a sore right wrist, though an X-ray conducted Sunday came back negative, MLB.com reports.
Castro has dealt with pain in the wrist since Thursday, but it wasn't until Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Brewers that he was forced to miss a game. The super-utility player looks set to remain out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners, and he'll be at risk of landing on the injured list if he doesn't show meaningful improvement within the next few days.

Twins' Willi Castro: Out Sunday with sore wrist
The Twins scratched Castro from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers due to right wrist soreness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Castro had initially been slated to start in left field and bat third, but DaShawn Keirsey will end up replacing him in the lineup. Though Castro is a switch hitter, the injury is to his throwing hand, so he may have been compromised in the field had the Twins elected to keep him in the lineup. The super-utility player can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Mariners.

Twins' Willi Castro: Collects three hits in loss
Castro went 3-for-4 with a double during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Houston in 10 innings.
Castro extended his hit streak to eight games Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance during that stretch. The utility player has been on a tear lately, going 25-for-61 (.409) with five home runs, 12 runs scored and 10 RBI over his last 17 games. He owns a .290/.365/.483 slash line on the year.

Twins' Willi Castro: Stays hot in Friday's loss
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Astros.
All three Twins runs came on solo shots, with Castro getting his team on the board by taking Colton Gordon deep in the fourth inning. Castro has been on fire since the end of May, slashing .408/.491/.796 over his last 14 games with five homers, 10 RBI and 12 runs, and with Royce Lewis (hamstring) suffering another injury Friday, the 28-year-old utility player will have a little less competition for playing time in the immediate future.

Twins' Willi Castro: Resting Friday
Castro isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.
Castro will get a chance to rest Friday after going 5-for-15 with two homers during the Twins' previous series against the Athletics. Kody Clemens will start at second base in his absence, and Harrison Bader, Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner will patrol the outfield.

Twins' Willi Castro: Another two-homer game
Castro went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Athletics.
Castro has been locked in at the plate lately, logging multiple hits in four of the last five games. Surprisingly, two of those have been multi-homer efforts, and he's also posted a 5:4 BB:K during his recent run of success. The utility player is up to a .261/.346/.457 slash line with six homers, 12 RBI, 25 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 40 contests. He's halfway to matching his career-best homer total (12) from last season, so it's unlikely this power-hitting stretch will last long.

Twins' Willi Castro: Three hits, steal in loss
Castro went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.
This was Castro's second multi-hit effort in a row, though all three knocks Saturday stayed in the park after his two-homer game Friday. The 28-year-old has lifted his batting average to .254 with his recent surge at the plate, and he's added a .759 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, 21 runs scored and three stolen bases over 37 games. He's not running nearly as much as he did in the previous two years, though his positional versatility can still carry value in fantasy. For now, Castro is poised to get most of his playing time at second base while the Twins are largely healthy among their position players.

Twins' Willi Castro: Doubles homer total for season
Castro went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
It was a rare display of power for Castro, who played a key role in the Twins' comeback effort. He hit a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run blast in the ninth, the latter of which pulled Minnesota within a run. The light-hitting utility player doubled his homer total to four with this big game, which was also his first multi-hit effort since May 15 versus the Orioles. Castro has a .238/.321/.402 slash line, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles across 36 contests.

Twins' Willi Castro: Back in lineup Monday
Castro (knee) is starting at second base and batting ninth against the Guardians on Monday.
Castro will return to the Twins' lineup for Monday's series opener after missing the last two games due to a right knee contusion. He has gone 8-for-32 (.250) with one steal, eight runs scored and a solo homer in the 10 games since being activated from the 10-day injured list May 5.

Twins' Willi Castro: Sitting again Sunday
Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.
It's the second straight game on the bench for Castro after he fouled a ball off his knee during Friday's contest. The utility man was diagnosed with a bruise and is considered day-to-day. Kody Clemens is manning the keystone Sunday while Brooks Lee starts at shortstop in place of Carlos Correa (concussion).

Twins' Willi Castro: Out of lineup Saturday
Castro (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Milwaukee.
Castro was pulled early from Friday's game against the Brewers after fouling a ball off his knee in the first inning. Though he was able to finish his at-bat, the utility man was replaced in the field for the following frame and will now be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Castro had started in left field Friday with Harrison Bader out of action while battling a groin injury, but Bader is back starting in left Saturday.

Twins' Willi Castro: Exits with bruised knee
Castro was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Castro fouled a ball off his knee during his at-bat in the first inning of Friday's contest. He was able to finish his AB but was eventually replaced in the field during the second frame. The fact he remained in the game immediately after the incident could indicate his injury isn't too serious, but he may sit out another game or two to properly recover.

Twins' Willi Castro: Back from injured list
The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Castro hasn't played since mid-April because of the injury, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the Twins' active roster. The super utility player will be in line for close to everyday playing time, likely alternating across multiple positions.
