Padres designate Nick Castellanos for assignment before series in Philadelphia

The San Diego Padres have designated Nick Castellanos for assignment, eliminating the chance for him to play in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Castellanos, who previously played for the Phillies, signed with the Padres but struggled this season, hitting.191 with four home runs and 20 RBIs. This roster move comes as the Padres are visiting Citizens Bank Park, where fans anticipated Castellanos' return. While the former Phillies outfielder was on the bench during the first game of the series, he will not have the opportunity to bat against his former team. Fans hoping to see him in Philadelphia will have to wait for a potential signing with another team.
