GDT 8/1/23 Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R) @ Miami Marlins (Alcantara, S)

Sometimes you can't see things on stat sheets that matter:

Castellanos got an off day yesterday. Everyone gets them sometimes, good when you are in a slump.
He actually lives in Miami so instead he was excused from BP so he could spend time at home.
It was also his son's 10th Birthday. He got to go to the party.

I don't know that is why they picked now to give him s day off. Maybe he asked. Maybe Thomson (who is taking criticism now) was smart enough to see the possibility of resetting a slumping hitter.

Either way, that ball was crushed.

It was also said that he worked with his brother in the batting cage
