Yankees' Starlin Castro: Not part of Friday's lineup

Castro is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Analysis:

Castro tallied two hits in Thursday's game and is 16-for-45 (.356) in his career against Orioles starter Yovani Gallardo, so it comes as a surprise that he is being held out with Gallardo on the mound for the opponent. Regardless of the reason Castro is being held out, Ronald Torreyes will get the start at second base.
