Castellanos said after the game that he had "an overwhelming sense that I was about to get drilled," before even stepping into the batter's box.
Harper was also vocal in the aftermath, stating that throwing at a player with intent "is not something that you should accept as Major League Baseball" - particularly in an era where today's pitchers can throw so hard.
Uceta, naturally, maintained while speaking through an interpreter that he did not intend to plunk Castellanos - the first batter he's hit all season in 36 1/3 innings.
Cash is serving his suspension tonight, per the league's announcement. Uceta can appeal if he chooses and would still be eligible to take the field while the appeal process plays out.
