Castro day to day after hit-by-pitch

HOUSTON -- Astros catcher Jason Castro is listed as day to day after taking an Ubaldo Jimenez fastball off the side of his right knee -- the same knee that required surgery to fix a torn ACL in 2011 -- during Monday's 5-2 win against the Orioles.

Castro was hit on the second pitch of his at-bat in the fifth inning and immediately fell face-first to the ground. With some assistance from head trainer Nate Lucero, Castro made his way to first base, where he ran up and down the baseline to test the injury.
