Starlin Castro News
Infielder Starlin Castro's 30-game suspension for domestic violence came to an end on Thursday. Following the end of the suspension, the Washington Nationals released him. He is now a free agent, though he may have difficulty finding a new home before the end of the year due to his transgressions. The 31-year-old Castro appeared in 87 games for the Nationals this year and slashed .283/.333/.375 with three home runs, 38 RBI and 25 runs.
Washington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro has been suspended by Major League Baseball for 30 games for violating the league's domestic violence policy, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic. Torres also reports that the Nationals have announced they intend to release Castro upon the completion of his suspension. Castro was placed on administrative leave two weeks ago following domestic violence allegations stemming from an incident earlier in the summer in the Dominican Republic. With this news, there's no reason Castro should remain rostered in any format.
Washington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro's administrative leave has been extended through July 29, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Major League Baseball is investigating a domestic-violence allegation against Castro, and general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez both said recently that they don't expect Castro to return to the team this year. That tells fantasy managers in deeper leagues all they need to know regarding Castro, who was hitting a solid .283/.333/.375 with three home runs and 38 RBI on the year for the Nats. He can be dropped in single-year formats and doesn't hold any real value in dynasty/keeper leagues at 31 years of age. Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer should continue sharing time at the hot corner for now, but that could change if Washington decides to trade for a third baseman such as Kris Bryant.
