Nick Castellanos of the Philadelphia Phillies has been sidelined from the lineup due to an inappropriate comment he made after being substituted in a game. Manager Rob Thomson expressed his appreciation for Castellanos' passion for the game but deemed his comment unacceptable, resulting in a 236-game consecutive play streak ending. Castellanos acknowledged his feelings about the substitution, stating he spoke his mind, which led to his current punishment of not playing.
"One of the many things about Nick that I love is that he's very emotional. He loves to play, and he loves to play every inning of every game."
"I wasn't happy about it, spoke my mind. He said that I crossed a line. So, my punishment is I'm not playing."
