Red Sox injury update: Rusney Castillo to return soon
Rusney Castillo took a bit longer to heal than expected, but the promising Cuban outfielder is scheduled to report back to Pawtucket by midweek according to multiple sources. Castillo will initially be a DH and then move to his customary outfield spot.
The 27-year-old Castillo signed a 72.5M contract last year and has shown glimpses of what he is capable of accomplishing on the field. In 2014 his brief 10 games Boston sojourn slashed .333/.400/.528 with three steals, two home runs and six RBI.
Castillo continued to impress in the Arizona Fall League, winter league and finally at Pawtucket this season where he was hitting .417 after three games – then he injured his shoulder.
