From cubs.com
Maddon said, "I told Starlin, 'It's not a day off,'" Maddon said of the shortstop, who was batting .236 entering Friday. "I wanted him to understand that up front. I did not give him any promises on how he'll be utilized other than, 'Just stay ready off the bench.' I didn't want to give him any kind of false promises whatsoever. He could be playing tomorrow."
Maddon emphasized the move was not "punitive" and said Castro, a three-time All-Star, took the news well. If Castro was hitting better, would Maddon have made this move?
"Probably not," Maddon said. "If he was playing his normal offensive game, you probably don't do something like this."
Maddon had talked with president of baseball operations Theo Epstein about the moves, and he met with Castro prior to posting the lineup Friday.
"This isn't a permanent benching," Epstein said. "It's just a recognition of where we are in the standings, how many good options we have with the players we have returning now, and it's a nod to Joe's ability to push the right buttons and put the best lineup on the field any given night."
Seemed he ran it by Theo and if the guys perform, this lineup will play.
