Rockies' Willi Castro: Drives in first runs of 2026
Rotowire
Castro went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays.
Castro has occupied a key spot in the Colorado lineup, starting at second base while hitting third in all four of the team's games. He drove in a pair with a double in the sixth inning, his first RBI of the season and with the Rockies. Castro has one hit in each of his last three games.
Rockies' Willi Castro: Will be aggressive on basepaths
Rotowire
The Rockies are expecting Castro to be aggressive stealing bases this season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The Rockies have revamped their front office and much of the coaching staff during offseason, leading to several new philosophies. One such change will be a focus on aggressiveness on the basepaths in an effort to create more run-scoring opportunities. Castro is among several players on the roster who could benefit, though he's only 24 of 40 on stolen base attempts across the last two regular seasons.
Rockies' Willi Castro: Nets two-year deal from Rockies
Rotowire
Castro signed a two-year, $12.8 million contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Castro ended the 2025 campaign on a sour note, slashing just .170/.245/.240 over 110 plate appearances in the regular season after being traded from the Twins to the Cubs at the deadline. Playing 81 games at Coors Field figures to help the 28-year-old's chances of bouncing back at the plate, and his extreme defensive versatility, combined with the Rockies' weak roster, should keep him in the starting lineup nearly every day.
