Rusney Castillo is receiving the start in right field Sunday against the Angels, and will likely become an everyday fixture in the lineup with Shane Victorino (calf) landing back on the 15-day DL.

Castillo is receiving the start in right field Sunday against the Angels and will likely become an everyday fixture in the lineup with Shane Victorino (calf) landing back on the 15-day DL.

Analysis:

Castillo received starts in both of the Red Sox's games since his recall from Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, going 2-for-8 at the dish with a run scored. The 27-year-old flashed the ability to hit for some pop and steal bases during his time with the Red Sox late in 2014, which likely resulted in many fantasy owners hanging on to him even after he opened this season in the minors. With a clear path to at-bats for the foreseeable future, Castillo probably warrants ownership in all but the shallowest of leagues.
