Yankees' Starlin Castro: Back in Tuesday's lineup
Castro (hamstring) is back in the lineup Tuesday, hitting cleanup and manning the keystone.
Analysis:
He made a pinch-hit appearance Monday after missing the previous seven games with the injury, so it's no surprise to see him return in full Tuesday. Castro has hit a career-high 21 homers in his first year in the Bronx, so his owners have to be satisfied with his production. However, a .304 OBP and subpar defense at second base (according to Fangraphs), may leave the Yankees wishing for more production at the position if Castro doesn't show improvement in those areas next season.
