Castro was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Hector Olivera's placement on Administrative Leave on Wednesday opened a spot on the active roster for Castro. Olivera will be on leave for the foreseeable future, which could give Castro a chance at sticking at the major league level. That said, Jeff Francoeur and Kelly Johnson will likely platoon in Olivera's old spot in left field, while Castro will likely serve as a depth option in the infield. According to MLB.com's Mark Bowman Castro could appear at shortstop as early as Wednesday, which would move Erick Aybar to second base.
