I just saw that on the Sun's papers website. So yeah...

Shortstop Juan Castro was in the Orioles' original lineup tonight, but was scratched a couple of hours before the game as Trembley wanted to give him one more day to heal. Castro, who told Trembley he was OK to start, hasn't played since straining his left groin Saturday.

"I think he can play shortstop," said Trembley, who started Alex Cintron in Castro's place. "He's going to hit [in batting practice]. It's one of those things. If he had his druthers, he'd be in the lineup tonight. But I'm listening to Richie Bancells, our head athletic trainer, and giving him one more day."
