At the start of the 2016 Detroit Tiger season, Nick Castellanos was a must-have addition to any fantasy baseball team.

Unfortunately, the Detroit Tigers third baseman did not end the season on the high note that everyone was hoping he would. A non-displaced fracture in his left fifth metacarpal bone prevented him from playing in over 50 games.

Despite the injury, the young Castellanos still finished the season in a position that has fans looking forward to 2017.
