Padres Designate Nick Castellanos for Assignment

The San Diego Padres designated outfielder Nick Castellanos for assignment on Wednesday, ending his rough tenure with the club. Castellanos hit just .191 with a .560 OPS, four home runs, and 20 RBIs in 39 games after signing for the league minimum. The move came just one day after he received a video tribute during his return to Philadelphia. milkshakeslot.online

Castellanos was released by the Phillies in February despite being owed $20 million for the final season of his contract. To fill the roster spot, the Padres selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor from Triple-A El Paso.
