CHICAGO -- The New York Yankees bring along an old friend when they visit Wrigley Field this weekend for the first time since 2014.

Starlin Castro, the former Chicago Cubs shortstop and current Yankees second baseman, is enjoying a renaissance in the Bronx with a .362 average that's second in the American League.

The 27-year-old infielder was once a core Cubs star but became expendable as the rebuilding team moved the rising Addison Russell into Castro's shortstop spot. In 891 regular-season games with the Cubs, he batted .281 with 62 home runs and 363 RBI.
