Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Back in action Saturday
Rotowire
Castellanos (illness) will start in right field and bat sixth in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against Detroit.
Castellanos has missed the past couple of days due to an illness, but he appears to be feeling better now and ready to return to the field. The 33-year-old outfielder is off to a slow start in the Grapefruit League, logging just three hits in 21 at-bats while striking out nine times.
Castellanos was held out of Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus Atlanta due to an illness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Launches first spring home run
Rotowire
Castellanos launched his first home run of the spring in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, adding two runs scored and a walk.
It was an encouraging effort by Castellanos, who belted an opposite-field homer in the fourth inning Thursday after going just 2-for-14 in his first five games this spring. The 33-year-old outfielder played all 162 games last season, and he should have plenty of RBI upside while batting in the heart of a potent Phillies lineup.
