Castro began the season as the Nationals' second baseman, playing in the club's first 16 games until he broke his right wrist diving for a ball. The fracture required season-ending surgery, though Castro has already been deemed 100% recovered. Pre-injury, Castro was posting numbers nearly identical to 2019 with the Marlins -- a bit below league average overall, but thanks to volume, useful for fantasy purposes. He enters 2021 with the inside track at the starting gig at either second or third base, with the slim chance both Luis Garcia and Carter Kieboom earn the jobs in the spring. Castro is slated to bat in the bottom half of the order, hindering his ability to compile counting stats. It really depends what you're looking for: BA stability or a riskier pick with more category sizzle. Keep in mind Castro starts with only second-base eligibility after also qualifying at third base in 2020.
