Castellanos will be on the bench for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Analysis: The Phillies will be the fourth seed in the National League no matter what happens over the weekend, so their primary priority will be ensuring that nobody gets hurt or overworks themselves. Cristian Pache will get a start in right field in the afternoon game.
Nick Castellanos Takes seat Wednesday
Castellanos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: It's a well-deserved day off for Castellanos after making 51 consecutive starts, and he was productive at the plate during that span with 11 doubles, 15 homers, 46 RBI and an .860 OPS. Cristian Pache will man right field after Philadelphia secured its spot in the playoffs Tuesday.
