The Phillies got yet another dose of bad injury news on Saturday.
Nick Castellanos, who put together an encouraging month of August and missed three games this week before returning to the field on Friday, is back out of the starting lineup on Saturday. Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said pregame that Castellanos felt something in his oblique last night on a swing, and he’s headed to the hospital to get an MRI.
Though he acknowledged there’s always concern when the oblique is involved, Thomson didn’t sound too worried when speaking to reporters a couple hours before Saturday’s first pitch.
