Astros' Jason Castro: Scratched from Saturday's lineup with hand contusion

Castro, who took a foul tip off his hand in Friday's game, was a late scratch Saturday, the Houston Chronicle's Jake Kaplan reports.

Analysis:

A right hand contusion will keep him out of action Saturday, but considering he was in the initial lineup, it's likely not that serious. Evan Gattis, who was originally slated to be the DH on Saturday, will start at catcher and hit eighth while Jake Marisnick was added to the lineup in left field.
