The Philadelphia Phillies addressed the team’s outfield defensive struggles at the trade deadline, acquiring Harrison Bader as a rental piece from the Minnesota Twins.

Bader has been excellent since joining the Phillies at the plate, and while his offensive numbers may regress, his defensive metrics have remained consistent throughout his career as one of the league’s best outfielders.

While Bader has seen an uptick in playing time, it has come at the expense of Nick Castellanos, who has transitioned to not playing full-time for the first time in his 13-year career.

During Friday’s 2–1 win over the Atlanta Braves, Castellanos was removed from the game with Bader taking over as a defensive replacement—an adjustment that irritated the veteran.

Asked postgame how the reduced playing time has affected him, Castellanos said, “It’s a big adjustment,” via MLB.com’s Paul Casella.

Phillies Weigh Postseason Roles as Castellanos’ Playing Time Diminishes

Ahead of Saturday’s game against Atlanta, Phillies manager Rob Thomson addressed Castellanos’ frustration and whether he believed the veteran could adapt to his changing role.

“Nick just wants to play. And that’s it. I think most guys get frustrated when they come out of the game or don’t play. Because they want to play and that’s normal,” Thomson said.
