Astros' Jason Castro: Sitting out Sunday

Castro (hand) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Castro is still tending to a hand contusion he suffered on Friday night when a foul ball ricocheted off of him. It doesn't appear to be a major concern for the Astros, as manager A.J. Hinch said that Castro will be available off the bench Sunday, according to Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. Evan Gattis will get the nod behind the plate Sunday, but Castro should return to action at some point during the Astros' series with the Yankees that begins Monday.
