"This is the first time [I've been in this situation]," Castro said. "But I will never put my head down. I know the talent that I have. I know the player that I am."
Castro is hitting just .236 with a .575 OPS, which ranks last among Major League Baseball shortstops and fourth-worst among all qualified players.
