Nick Castellanos Being Benched After "Inappropriate Comment"
Nick Castellanos is sitting on Tuesday against the division-rival Miami Marlins because of an "inappropriate comment" he made after being removed from Monday's win, according to manager Rob Thomson. Max Kepler is starting in right field and will hit cleanup against Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill. Believe it or not, Castellanos will take a seat for the first time in a big-league game since September of 2023. The 33-year-old veteran should be back in there on Wednesday in Miami. The former first-rounder has been steady but not amazing for fantasy managers in 2025 with a .278 average (76-for-273) with seven home runs, 36 RBI, 31 runs and two stolen bases. Kepler has nine homers in his first year in Philly but with only a .221 average (47-for-213). He's hitting .182 with a homer and four RBI in 22 career at-bats against Quantrill.
