Latest news
The Padres released Castellanos on Friday.
Castellanos was DFA'd by the Padres on Wednesday after slashing just .191/.221/.339 with four homers, 20 RBI and nine runs scored through 39 games. Now a free agent after clearing waivers, the 34-year-old may have to settle for a minor-league contract in order to continue his playing career.

The Padres designated Castellanos for assignment Wednesday.
The Padres gladly scooped Castellanos up for the league minimum in February after he was cut loose by the Phillies, but he simply didn't hit enough to justify a roster spot, slashing only .191/.221/.339 with four home runs and a 5:34 BB:K over 39 contests. The 34-year-old Castellanos could be hard-pressed to find another major-league contract at this point.

Castellanos is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.
Castellanos had started in six of the last seven games for the Padres since May 18. He recorded just two hits across 22 plate appearances in that span, with one of those hits being a home run. The Padres' outfield Tuesday is comprised of Gavin Sheets, Jackson Merrill and Ramon Laureano.

Castellanos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Castellanos will head to the bench for the series finale after he started in each of the Padres' last five games while going 2-for-16 with a solo home run, a walk and and an additional run. With Castellanos taking a seat, the Padres will make room in the lineup for Ty France at first base while Gavin Sheets and Ramon Laureano occupy the corner-outfield positions.

Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Athletics.
Castellanos went yard in the fifth inning to tie the game at 3-3. He has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over his last eight games, adding two homers and six RBI, though he's also racked up nine strikeouts without a walk in that span. The veteran outfielder is batting .198 with a .592 OPS, four homers, 19 RBI, eight runs scored, five doubles and a stolen base over 106 plate appearances. His playing time is trending up, but Castellanos could lose some playing time once Jake Cronenworth (concussion) returns, which would likely force Fernando Tatis back to the outfield. However, Cronenworth's return is not imminent.

Castellanos will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
With Fernando Tatis seeing the bulk of his playing time at second base of late in the absence of Jake Cronenworth (concussion), Castellanos has begun to seize control of a near-everyday role in the corner outfield. The Padres will include him in the lineup Wednesday for the seventh time in nine games.
