The San Diego Padres have designated outfielder Nick Castellanos for assignment after a disappointing performance, batting just .191 with a .560 OPS in 39 games. This move coincided with his return to Philadelphia, where he received a video tribute. Castellanos is replaced by Samad Taylor, who excelled in Triple-A with a .319 average and .906 OPS. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies continue to struggle in right field, facing $30 million in dead money with Castellanos and Adolis Garcia, who has similarly underperformed.
