Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Castro has turned into an elite utility player becoming the first player to play more than 25 game at five different positions in a season. Castro maintained his improved walk (8.2%) and hard-hit rates (31.4%) and duplicated his 108 wRC+ from 2023. He moved around the diamond filling in for injured players and rest days and played a career-high 158 games. He has above-average speed, but attempted fewer stolen bases (23 vs. 38 in 2023) mostly as the Twins ran less as a team. He offers some power (12 home runs) as well. He won't have a set position again, but should find regular playing time with the Twins. Read Past Outlooks

Getting breather Wednesday
Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
After making seven consecutive starts, Castro is on the bench for Wednesday's series finale. Brooks Lee will slot in at second base while Trevor Larnach, DaShawn Keirsey and Kody Clemens fill the outfield from left to right.

Stat Review
How does Willi Castro compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The Jays and Rays carry a full slate of games while the Cubs should continue to impress offensively at home.

Finding the next big thing on the mound is always a top priority in fantasy leagues, which makes young hurlers like the Minnesota Twins' Zebby Matthews intriguing targets.

There will be many MLB clubs on seven games this week, including a Rockies offense projected for lots of runs based on a full allotment of home matchups.

Ryan Pohle dives into team stacks and pitchers for Friday's MLB slate, including Joe Ryan in a matchup against the inconsistent Brewers.

Castro has the best season of his career as he became a solid utility player and a surprising source of stolen bases. After Castro was non-tendered by Detroit he had to settle for a minor league deal with the Twins and wasn't a sure bet to win a major league job. Castro got regular duty at third base in May when Jose Miranda struggled and hit .274 with a .780 OPS and 10 steals in the first two months of the season. He also became the backup center fielder when Byron Buxton was unable to play in the field. Castro gained manager Rocco Baldelli's confidence on the basepaths and went 33 for 38 in steal attempts. Castro drew more walks (8.3% BB%) and made harder contact (career-high 31.9% Hard Hit rate), but most of his underlying metrics were similar to his underwhelming 2022 season. A full-season career-high .328 BABIP may have indicated he was a bit lucky. However, Castro's versatility to be a plus glove around the infield and use his speed to be adequate in the outfield should help him carve out a steady role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Candidate to be dealt
The Twins are likely to dangle Castro in trade talks this offseason, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The Twins aren't necessarily looking to cut payroll, but they could reallocate funds and one obvious way to do that is trading Castro, who is projected to make more than $6 million in his final year of arbitration eligibility. Castro has slashed a solid .251/.334/.395 in his two seasons in Minnesota, while making at least 14 starts at five different positions. He's also a switch hitter, which makes him a fit for virtually any roster.
