The Padres announced they’ve released Nick Castellanos. That was all but inevitable after the two-time All-Star was designated for assignment on Wednesday. San Diego also confirmed the previously reported placement of reliever Jeremiah Estrada on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 3, with right knee inflammation. David Morgan is back up from Triple-A El Paso to replace him in the bullpen.
San Diego also reinstated righty Jhony Brito from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to El Paso. Ramón Laureano, who is likely done for the season after undergoing hip surgery, was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
More to come.

I hear the Red Sox are looking for a right handed bat… just saying
He must not receive rave reviews for his play….
And there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a plane ticket home…
A deep drive into retirement
Almost sure nick was going to be the answer cant belive I trusted in AJ
Castellanos to Cuba where Casty becomes the new dictator …
Shocked they gave him more then 100 ABs. That dog had his day.
This guy, and every professional baseball player, shall be considered criminals for playing a child’s game for millions of dollars while the average working hungry man and family barely get by in life. He needs to give up all of his possessions and money to charity.
Especially when they are probably still better than most people trying to get to the Majors.If only I was more talented.I would have only had to play,about 10 years.If done right,never work again.

Now you’re on to something
And every American earning more than $1000 a month should also be considered a criminal and be forced to give all of their excess to people in places like Sudan.
