Twins' Willi Castro: Out of lineup Saturday
Castro (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Milwaukee.
Castro was pulled early from Friday's game against the Brewers after fouling a ball off his knee in the first inning. Though he was able to finish his at-bat, the utility man was replaced in the field for the following frame and will now be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Castro had started in left field Friday with Harrison Bader out of action while battling a groin injury, but Bader is back starting in left Saturday.

Twins' Willi Castro: Exits with bruised knee
Castro was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Castro fouled a ball off his knee during his at-bat in the first inning of Friday's contest. He was able to finish his AB but was eventually replaced in the field during the second frame. The fact he remained in the game immediately after the incident could indicate his injury isn't too serious, but he may sit out another game or two to properly recover.

The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Twins' Willi Castro: Expected to return early this week
Castro (oblique) isn't likely to need a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
If he's fully healthy the utility player should immediately reclaim a regular starting role with the Twins struggling to find production at multiple lineup spots. Castro originally suffered the right oblique strain April 16, but he's since resumed baseball activities and has been taking batting practice without issue.

Twins' Willi Castro: Lands on 10-day IL
The Twins placed Castro on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain.
Castro hasn't played in more than a week and the Twins have finally relented and placed the super-utility player on the IL. According to Dan Hayes of The Athletic, the switch-hitting Castro has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain. While Castro can hit pain-free from the right side, he isn't able to swing left-handed without feeling tightness. He's eligible for activation May 1, and he sounds like he'll have a shot to return at that time.

Twins' Willi Castro: Takes indoor batting practice
Castro (oblique) took indoor batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
Castro admitted Tuesday that he doesn't feel 100 percent while he works through a right oblique injury, but he and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli are confident Castro can avoid a stint on the injured list. The oblique flares up when the switch hitter bats left-handed, so it's possible he returns only to hit right-handed initially.
