Nick Castellanos, who is batting .286 with 18 home runs, suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his left hand after being hit a pitch as part of a five-run fourth inning against the New York Mets at Comerica Park on Saturday night, reports George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press.
