WASHINGTON -- Now that Daniel Castro has returned to the Major League level, the Braves have the option to defensively upgrade their shortstop position. But Erick Aybar will be given some more time to prove he can still capably handle the position on a daily basis.
Castro was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday to fill the roster spot that was vacated when Hector Olivera was placed on the restricted list after being arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman at the team's hotel in Pentagon City, Va., early Wednesday morning.
