After balking at a Saturday return, Luis Castillo could be activated as early as today, with the expectation he would start against Astros righthander Brian Moehler. Manager Jerry Manuel said last week that he expected to use Castillo as his everyday second baseman, but he modified that yesterday by saying he is more likely to be used in a platoon with Damion Easley.

Manuel said Luis Castillo, in a surprising move that actually could benefit the Mets, asked to stay on the disabled list just hours before he was set to be activated and start at second base in what turned out to be an 8-3 loss to the Astros...

Over at his blog for the Daily News, Adam Rubin is reporting that Luis Castillo has volunteered to wait a few days to come off the DL, leaving Argenis Reyes and Nick Evans on the team. By “a few days” i hope he means a week, so Reyes and Evans can stay on until rosters expand….

Luis Castillo told the Mets he needs a few more days before bing activated from the disabled list today. Interesting, in that the rule stipulates he must be activated now that his 20-day rehab allotment has expired, unless, of course, he states that he needs more time - in which case the Mets can keep him [...]
