Castro (personal) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro will stick on the bench for a second straight game as he remains away from the team attending the birth of his child. It's unclear when -- or if -- the second baseman will return. Miguel Rojas is starting at the keystone Tuesday and should continue to do so while Castro is unavailable.

Castro left the team to be with his wife for the birth of his child, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear whether Castro will return sometime this week, given he'd have to rejoin the team in either Washington or New York. With the Marlins clearly out of the race for the postseason, he may elect to remain home for the final week of the regular season.

Castro is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro is just 2-for-12 with seven strikeouts in his career against Washington's starter, Stephen Strasburg, so he'll give way to Miguel Rojas at the keystone in this one. The second baseman went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and three RBI in Monday's series-opening win.

Castro went 5-for-6 with a pair of doubles, three runs and an RBI in the Marlins' 12-1 trouncing of the Nationals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Castro was at the center of a rare explosive day for the Miami offense, with his five hits representing a new season high. The veteran second baseman entered the day hitting just .214 in August, but his outburst resulted in a 60-point jump in his monthly average.
