Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and two strikeouts in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Castellanos took St. Louis starter Kwang Hyun Kim deep in the sixth inning. Overall, Castellanos is putting together an excellent first month of the season, slashing .292/.320/.653 with seven homers, 14 runs, and 14 RBI across 72 at-bats. Castellanos continues to make great contact this year as he's tied for 22nd in the league with a 9.3% barrels per plate appearance rate.--Matt T - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (hip) was lifted from Thursday's series-finale win over the San Francisco Giants due to left hip-flexor tightness, according to the team. Castellanos was lifted in the seventh inning of the eventual 6-4 victory, with Max Kepler moving to right field and Edmundo Sosa entering the contest in left field. Before departing, the 33-year-old veteran 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a strikeout. The good news is that manager Rob Thomson said after the game that Castellanos should be good to play for Friday's series opener at Citizens Bank Park against the division-rival Miami Marlins. It's good news for the Phillies outfield with Brandon Marsh also dealing with a knee injury. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if Castellanos is back in there on Friday. He's off to a hot start, as he entered Thursday's game hitting .303 with three homers and 11 RBI.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos is in right field and is batting cleanup for Thursday's divisional clash against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach at Truist Park. It's the first time that Castellanos has been in the cleanup spot this year, with the Phillies moving third baseman Alec Bohm moving down to the seven-hole after an 8-for-45 (.178) start to the year with no home runs. The 33-year-old Castellanos has been swinging a hot bat in the early going in 2025, hitting .308 (12-for-39) with two homers, three RBI and seven RBI. He's gone 7-for-18 in the last five games as well. The move up the lineup into the cleanup spot will make him a little more attractive for DFS lineups, albeit against a pitcher that has yet to give up a run this year. Castellanos has hit .222 with three RBI in nine career at-bats against Schwellenbach.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (illness) is returning to the starting nine on Saturday afternoon. Castellanos is slated to cover right field and bat in the six-hole. Castellanos has been sidelined earlier in the week due to this illness. However, given that he is returning to the lineup, suggests he will not be in any danger of missing Opening Day. During the regular season, fantasy managers should expect the 33-year-old to be the everyday right fielder in the Philadelphia lineup. Last summer, Castellanos posted a .254/.311/.431 slash line with 30 doubles and 23 home runs. He swiped six bags and added 80 runs and 86 RBI. Under the hood, he generated a strong .271 xBA with a .333 xwOBA, which suggests that he should see some positive regression in 2025. Castellanos should be viewed as a high-floor No.3 outfielder in all formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (illness) was unable to play on Wednesday due to an illness. The 33-year-old has not been in the lineup since Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor his status as the Phillies may continue to keep him sidelined for the time being. When healthy, he is expected to be their everyday right fielder. Last season, the 33-year-old held a .254/.311/.431 slash line with 30 doubles and 23 home runs. He tallied 86 RBI with 80 runs. He generated an elite .271 xBA with a 39.0 percent launch angle sweet spot rate, which suggests he should see some positive regression during the 2025 campaign. During the 2023 campaign, he held a .272/.311/.476 line. Fantasy managers should view Castellanos as a reliable No.3/No.4 outfielder who should provide a high floor of counting stats batting in a potent Philadelphia lineup.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
