| Jason Castro clubs third home run |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Astros catcher Jason Castro hit his third home run of the season Sunday against the Rangers.
In the fourth inning, Castro took a Nick Tepesch fastball out of left field for a solo shot. It was the only run the team scored off Tepesch. Castro later added an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Castro is hitting .256/.295/.416 in 125 at-bats.

| Jason Castro showing he has something to offer |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/3/13) For a while there, Jason Castro's hot spring, when he hit six home runs in 43 at-bats, looked like smoke and mirrors, and it may well have been a case of him excelling in less-than-legitimate competition. But at least now, there's room for debate again. He's batting .389 (14 for 36) with six doubles and a homer during a nine-game hitting streak.
At age 25, he isn't a lost cause offensively. He had an .830 OPS over his final 61 games last year and comes with a top-prospect pedigree, having been selected 10th overall by the Astros in 2008. But just because he can hit doesn't mean he'll hit well enough or consistently enough to factor in Fantasy.
I have my doubts, which is why I rank him 24th at catcher, but in leagues where every team starts two catchers, I'd be tempted to add him just to see where this latest streak goes.

| Jason Castro doubles twice against Yankees |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/1/13) Astros catcher Jason Castro kept up his hot hitting Wednesday night, doubling twice in four plate appearances to extend his hitting streak to eight games. He's 13 for 30 with six doubles during the streak, raising his season line to .284/.323/.432 in 93 plate appearances.
Castro will try to keep his strong stretch going when the Astros face the Tigers in a four-game series that begins Thursday.

| Despite streak, Jason Castro takes a seat |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4/29/13) The Astros gave catcher Jason Castro, usually the team's No. 3 hitter, the night off on Monday in New York against Andy Pettitte and the Yankees.
Castro, batting .266 on the season with one homer and four RBI, is hot at the moment. He's gone 9 for 21 (.429) over a six-game hitting streak with one RBI and a stolen base.

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

Castro has been hot lately, with nine hits in his last six games. He should return to the club's starting lineup Tuesday. Castro has been replaced by Carlos Corporan, who will bat seventh.

Beltre's HR, four hits lead Rangers in rout over Astros
Adrian Beltre's three-run homer was one of his four hits, and David Murphy and Leonys Martin also homered as the Texas Rangers completed a three-game sweep by romping past the Houston Astros 12-7 on Sunday.

| Jason Castro missed the entire 2011 campaign due to knee surgery and injuries continued to slow his progress in 2012. Splitting time behind the plate, he hit .254 with two homers and 20 RBI in his first 54 games before a knee issue landed him on the disabled list in July. He would return in August and finished the season batting .257 with six homers, 29 RBI and a .401 slugging percentage. The former No. 10 overall pick has yet to live up to expectations but at age 25, Castro still has plenty of time to turn things around. The Astros move to the American League West this season, however, so Castro could be in for another rough campaign. Leave him for AL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 12/12/12) |
