Yankees' Starlin Castro: Out again Thursday

Castro (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

This marks Castro's fourth straight absence and a possible return date remains up in the air. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain last weekend -- the least severe type of strain, classified as "mild" -- but the team has not said definitively that Castro will play again this year.
