EDGE Analysis

Castellanos was one of four Phillies with multiple hits in the win. The outfielder has been swinging the bat well lately, going 12-for-32 (.375) with five extra base-hits and six RBI over his last eight contests. For the season, he's up to a .325/.374/.517 slash line with five home runs, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, a stolen base and 14 doubles through 39 contests.

Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

His fourth-inning shot off Alek Manoah gave the Phillies a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Five of Castellanos' last seven hits have gone for extra bases as he continues to tear the cover off the ball, and he now sports a .317/.367/.525 slash line on the season with five homers, 24 RBI and 28 runs through 36 games.

Castellanos went 2-for-5 with a solo homer scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Castellanos took Cristian Javier deep for a solo home run in the fourth inning to get the Phillies on the board. After going without a home run in his first 21 games, Castellanos has belted four long balls in the last seven games and has hit safely in nine of his last 10 appearances. After managing just 13 homers in 524 at-bats in 2022, Castellanos is on pace to best that total after putting up four in just 108 at-bats so far this season.

EDGE Analysis

Castellanos drove in three of the Phillies' six runs Wednesday, taking Logan Gilbert yard for a two-run shot in the second frame and plating Bryson Stott on a fifth-inning single. The veteran right fielder has carried a hot stick through 25 games this season, slashing .333/.396/.531 while hitting in the heart of a powerful Philadelphia lineup.

Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a double and two solo home runs in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder ended the longest power drought of his career -- his last homer came Aug. 27 of last season -- with an impressive performance that included launching the game-winning blast in the sixth inning off Kyle Freeland. Castellanos has been productive in 2023 prior to breaking out, however, and on the season he's batting .310 (26-for-84) with 10 doubles, 13 RBI and 18 runs in 22 contests.

Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI during a 7-4 win over the White Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder went 0-for-3 in the nightcap, but the Phillies only managed one hit against Lucas Giolito and the Chicago bullpen to split the twin bill. Castellanos is still looking for his first homer of 2023 but does have nine doubles, and he's slashing .294/.385/.426 through 18 games with 10 RBI and 15 runs.

Castellanos worked with hitting coach Kevin Long over the offseason to simplify his swing following a disappointing first season in Philadelphia, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castellanos homered just 13 times while slashing .263/.305/.389 in his Phillies debut, a line which made him a below-replacement player according to WAR when factoring in his poor defense. Sliders posed a particular problem, and opposing pitchers knew it, throwing him sliders 32.0 percent of the time compared to 21.8 percent against the rest of the league. Long noticed while reviewing the outfielder's film that Castellanos had added multiple extraneous movements of his bat, head and hands, which may have given him less time to see the pitch and decide to lay off as it dove out of the zone. It's too early to say if the changes will have any impact, but there's at least now a narrative to support those betting on a bounce-back.

Castellanos is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Like many of the Phillies' regulars, Castellanos gets the day off after securing a postseason berth Monday. Dalton Guthrie is starting in right field and hitting eighth.

Castellanos isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Castellanos started Saturday's matinee and went 1-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout. Matt Vierling will take over in right field and bat eighth for the second game of the twin bill.

Castellanos is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Castellanos went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's game, but he returned from nearly a four-week absence the day before, so he will be held out Thursday for maintenance purposes. Expect him to get an at-bat -- or perhaps more -- at some point in Thursday's contest.
