Foot surgery to delay Castro's Spring Training
HOUSTON -- Astros catcher Jason Castro, who missed all of last season after
undergoing major knee surgery, will miss the first part of Spring Training
after undergoing surgery Friday to remove the sesamoid bone in his left foot.
The injury, which Castro suffered in the Arizona Fall League last month, is
similar to the injury suffered a year ago by former Astros second baseman
Jeff Keppinger, who had surgery to remove the sesamoid bone Jan. 14 and
returned to action in late May.
Castro isn't allowed to put any weight on the foot for a couple of weeks and
won't be ready for action when pitchers and catchers report Feb. 20, but he
is hopeful to be healthy for Opening Day. He hit .205 with two homers and
eight RBIs in 195 at-bats in his Major League debut in 2010.
"The timing couldn't have worked out any more perfectly, as far as having
something happen," Castro said. "You never want anything like this to happen.
It gives me time to get healthy and basically have the entire Spring Training
to get back in shape."
Still, the injury casts some uncertainty over Houston's catching situation
entering spring camp. Castro, the club's first-round pick in 2008 out of
Stanford, is slated to be the starter next year in what would be his first
full season in the Major Leagues.
Humberto Quintero got most of the starts at catcher last season and on Monday
was re-signed to a one-year, $1 million deal, plus bonuses, to avoid
arbitration.
Quintero, 32, hit .240 with two homers and 25 RBIs in 79 games last season
and has started 147 games over the past two years. The Astros have added
catching depth by claiming catcher Craig Tatum off waivers from the Orioles
in October and they recently re-signed Carlos Corporan to a Minor League deal
with an invitation to Spring Training.
Castro, 24, missed all of last season after undergoing surgery to repair a
large tear in the meniscus and a reconstruction of the ACL. He suffered the
injury early in Spring Training when he stepped awkwardly on first base while
running out a ground ball in Lakeland, Fla.
Castro doesn't know exactly when his current injury occurred, except that the
foot began bothering him in the Arizona Fall League title game.
"That's when I noticed it," he said. "They've told me two to three months is
about normal for a full recovery. I'm kind of looking right in there and
looked at the calendar. It looks like I won't miss much of anything. Three
months puts me in the first week of Spring Training games, and hopefully if
all goes well, I won't miss anything as far as playing time and all that."
Castro, hit .289 in 12 games for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall
League with a .404 on-base-percentage.
