Braves rookie Castro to get more starts at 2B rest of way

With Jace Peterson struggling for and rookie callup Daniel Castro impressing in limited duty, the Braves plan to get a better look at Castro during the final weeks of the season.

Castro got the start at second base Tuesday for the third time in the past four games, and manager Fredi Gonzalez indicated he would use a platoon arrangement with Peterson and Castro at that position the rest of the season, with Castro facing mostly left-handers.
