The Philadelphia Phillies removed right fielder Nick Castellanos from Thursday’s game against the San Francisco Giants with left hip flexor tightness.
Max Kepler moved to right field for the top of the seventh inning while Edmundo Sosa took over in left.
Castellanos, who went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored before departing, is batting .304 this season with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 19 games.
In 13 MLB seasons, the last four with the Phillies, he is a career .274 hitter with 236 home runs and 860 RBIs.
