Castro's 30-game domestic violence suspension has come to an end, but he's now officially off the roster in Washington and will probably struggle to attract interest from other teams in free agency. The 31-year-old former four-time All-Star wound up batting .283/.333/.375 with three home runs and 38 RBI across 87 games played (346 plate appearances) this season with the Nats.
