Phillies' Nick Castellanos relegated to the bench after 'inappropriate comment,' manager Rob Thomson says

Nick Castellanos found himself in unfamiliar territory during the first pitch of the Philadelphia Phillies game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

The Phillies outfielder was engaged in a heated exchange with Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson during the team's 5-2 victory over the Marlins on Monday. Shortly before the start of the second game of the four-game series between the NL East division rivals, Thomson told reporters that Castellanos would be withheld from Tuesday's starting lineup.
