Tigers add key player back to the lineup in time for postseason race

What happened?

The Detroit Tigers have activated infielder Willi Castro from the injured list, providing a much-needed boost to their lineup as they enter the final stretch of the regular season. Castro has been sidelined since Aug. 10 with a hamstring injury, but he is now healthy and ready to contribute.

What does this mean for the Tigers?

Castro's return is a big boost for the Tigers, who are currently in the thick of the race for the American League Central Division title. He is a versatile player who can play several positions, including shortstop, second base, and third base. He is also a solid hitter, with a career batting average of .270.

With Castro back in the lineup, the Tigers have a more balanced and dangerous offense. He will provide a much-needed spark at the top of the order, and he will also give manager A.J. Hinch more flexibility in his lineup.

What should we watch for?

Castro is expected to make his return to the lineup on Friday night against the Cleveland Indians. He will likely bat leadoff and play shortstop. It will be interesting to see how he performs in his first game back from injury, and how he helps the Tigers improve their chances of making the playoffs.
