Early this afternoon the Washington Nationals announced that they have recalled infielder Luis García and placed infielder Starlin Castro on the Restricted List.
There is no word yet on why Castro, who was not in the lineup on Tuesday night, has been placed on the Restricted List.
You can read about the Restricted List here. Here’s Baseball-reference’s description of the Restricted List:
The Restricted list is a compendium of players who are out of organized baseball but are not free agents. A team can request that a player be placed on the restricted list if that player has left the team without a valid reason, or has announced his intention to retire but is still of an age or level of skill that could allow him to return to professional baseball in the future.
