Slams 10th homer, knocks in three Castellanos went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Impact Castellanos homered off Jhoulys Chacin in the third inning for his 10th homer of the season. He leads the Reds in long balls and he's tied for second in the National League. The 29-year-old is having a great offensive season, batting over .300 for the first time in his career and slashing .326/.377.627 in 146 plate appearances. The outfielder has seven hits, including three extra-base hits in his last three games.

Resting Friday Castellanos will sit Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Castellanos missed one game in early May with back tightness, though his absence Friday is reportedly merely a routine day off. He'll miss out on the chance to pad his numbers at Coors Field, with Jesse Winker shifting to right field to make room for Shogo Akiyama in left.

Back in action Friday Castellanos (back) is starting in right field and batting third Saturday at Cleveland.

Impact The 29-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Wednesday but was a late scratch with back tightness, though it appears he's good to go after Thursday's scheduled off day. The Reds apparently aren't concerned about Castellanos aggravating the injury since fellow outfielder Jesse Winker is serving as the designated hitter.

Scratched with back tightness Castellanos was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the White Sox due to back tightness, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Castellanos was expected to start Wednesday after he left Tuesday's loss with the same issue, but he'll be held out ahead of Thursday's scheduled off day. Tyler Naquin will take over in right field and bat seventh. It's not yet clear whether Castellanos will return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against Cleveland.

Good to go Wednesday Castellanos (general soreness) will start in right field and bat second Wednesday against the White Sox.

Impact Castellanos went hitless in two at-bats Tuesday before being removed due to unspecified tightness in his body, but the Reds likely just pulled him for precautionary purposes with the White Sox holding an 8-0 lead at the time of his departure. As expected, Castellanos will check back into the starting nine for the series finale, and he should be ready to handle an everyday role moving forward.

Leaves early, should play Wednesday Manager David Bell said Castellanos exited Tuesday's loss against the White Sox with unspecified tightness, though the outfielder is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday, Mark Sh...

Impact The 29-year-old went 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts before exiting Tuesday's contest at the start of the sixth inning, but his removal appears to have been a precautionary with the Reds already trailing 8-0. The team doesn't seem concerned over the injury, so Castellanos should be back in the lineup for the series finale.
