Castro was optioned to Double-A Altoona on Monday.

Castro has been a regular starter at second base for the Pirates over the past month, but he has a .552 OPS since being promoted in late July and will head back to Double-A. The 22-year-old may need to finish the minor-league campaign strong with Altoona to have another chance at seeing playing time down the stretch for Pittsburgh.
