Castro was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 AM Atlanta reports.

Castro will be the last man out following the activation of Erick Aybar (foot), as both Castro and Chase d'Arnaud had been splitting time at shortstop with the regular starter on the shelf. According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, d'Arnaud will get the starting nod at second base Sunday. With an infield near full strength, the 23-year-old Castro will head back to the minors where he can continue to see consistent at-bats.
