Nick Castellanos contributed significantly in the Phillies' dominant 13-3 victory over the Nationals, going 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a crucial homer that helped extend the team's lead, alongside scoring once himself. Despite a middling season average of .247, this game could hint at a potential upswing for Castellanos, who now boasts 16 homers and 60 RBI through 121 games. His power remains an asset in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate continue to limit his upside in points leagues that penalize for strikeouts. Fantasy managers should monitor if this performance kickstarts a hot streak, making him a more reliable starting option.
