Castellanos is out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston. Castellanos' playing time early in his tenure with the Padres has been erratic. He did not start the first two games of the season, then started three straight and has now been back on the bench for two games in a row. Miguel Andujar is in the designated hitter spot for San Diego, and he and Castellanos are likely to continue sharing playing time in the slot.

Heading to bench Wednesday
Castellanos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants. Castellanos and Miguel Andujar shared the designated-hitter spot through the first five games, but neither player will be in the lineup Wednesday. Ramon Laureano will receive a day off from playing the outfield, but he'll stay in the starting nine at DH while Bryce Johnson takes his spot on defense. Castellanos has thus far gone 2-for-12 with a double and a walk, so he'll need to raise his production before solidifying an everyday role.
Another start against righty
Castellanos will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Monday's contest versus the Giants. After yielding to Miguel Andujar at DH against lefties in the first two games of the season, Castellanos is now making a second straight start versus a righty. While Castellanos seems to have the early edge over Andujar in terms of playing time against right-handed pitching, there probably isn't a cemented hierarchy just yet. Gavin Sheets and Ty France are also vying for playing time in a crowded first base/DH situation for San Diego.
