Availability
Nick Castellanos was designated for assignment by the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.

Castellanos struggled to find success at the plate with San Diego this season, hitting .191 with a .560 OPS in 115 at-bats. Utilityman Samad Taylor was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Nick Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Padres 7-4 win over the Mariners on Saturday.

Nick Castellanos hit a game-tying, two-run home run in the ninth inning on Sunday against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
After falling behind 0-2 in the count, Castellanos worked a full count before taking Cardinals closer Riley O'Brien deep on the ninth pitch of the at-bat to tie the game. Manny Machado later won the game in the 10th inning for San Diego. Despite his big moment on Sunday, Castellanos is still struggling overall on the season.
Nick Castellanos went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the Padres 5-4 loss against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact
Castellanos is expected to primarily play in the outfield and serve as the designated hitter with some time at first base. He recently signed a one-year deal with the Padres after he was released by the Phillies.
