Castellanos went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Castellanos has started the regular season with three hits and two walks over 16 plate appearances, and he's also struck out five times. The 32-year-old is off to a bit of a slow start, but he should be a strong source of power and counting stats since he's comfortably situated in one of the best lineups across the National League.

Castellanos went 3-for-3 with two solo home runs and an additional walk in Thursday's 3-1 win over Atlanta in Game 4 of the NLDS.
EDGE Analysis
Castellanos did the heavy lifting once again in this contest as he has now hit two home runs on back-to-back nights in the midst of a power surge. The right-hander is no stranger to the long ball, slugging 29 home runs across 157 games in the regular season, but this hot stretch has come at an opportune time in these must-win matches. Castellanos is now slashing an electric .391/.440/1.000 line in 25 plate appearances this postseason with four home runs, six runs and five RBI. The outfielder will look to keep the streak going in the NLCS next week against the Diamondbacks.

Castellanos will be on the bench for the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE 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.

Castellanos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
EDGE 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.

Castellanos went 2-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Castellanos took Bryce Elder deep to lead off the second inning, putting Philadelphia up 2-0 early. But the right fielder wasn't done there, launching another homer off Elder in the fourth, this time a two-run shot, as the Phillies extended their lead. Castellanos now has five homers in his last eight games to go along with 10 RBI and eight runs scored. He needs just one more RBI to give him 100 for the season, a feat he's accomplished twice prior in his big-league career.

Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Castellanos provided a clutch base hit in the eighth to knot things up at 5-5 and also notched a stolen base for the second consecutive game. The 31-year-old has 11 hits, 10 RBI and three steals over his last nine games, making it the first time in his 10-year career that he's reached double-digit steals (he has 10) in a season. Castellanos has resurfaced as one of the more dangerous bats in the Phillies' lineup this year. He's now slashing .272/.310/.458 with 24 homers, 95 RBI, 73 runs and a 33:173 BB:K in 629 plate appearances.

Castellanos went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two total runs and three total RBI on Saturday in a 12-1 win against St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Castellanos belted a three-run shot to left field in a seven-run seventh-inning for Philadelphia. The veteran outfielder has four multi-hit outings over his past nine games, slashing .268/.262/.537 with two homers, five doubles and nine RBI over that span. However, Castellanos has also struck out 16 times without drawing a walk during that period, and his 27.9 percent strikeout rate on the campaign is on pace to be the worst of his career.

Castellanos went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 12-3 rout of the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies were actually down 3-0 heading into the seventh inning, but Castellanos woke up his offense by launching a three-run homer to right-center field off Andres Machado. The 31-year-old slugger has been doing major damage in August when he makes contact -- despite a 1:21 BB:K, Castellanos is slashing .301/.307/.630 through his last 17 games with 18 RBI and seven of his 21 homers on the season.
