El Atlético de Madrid se enfrenta al Arsenal en busca de la final de la Champions League.
San Diego Padres' Nick Castellanos is struggling with a .164 batting average and may need to be designated for assignment. The team must consider upgrading their bench as the trade deadline approaches.
Castellanos’ struggles at the plate have mirrored some of his teammates for the first month. He has failed to make consistent contact, as his strikeout rate is at 26.2%, the highest of his career. Castellanos has only five extra-base hits this season. View Link All the blame cannot be placed on him, as the Friars have not given Castellanos the playing time needed to find his stroke. Throughout his 14-year major career, the right-handed slugger has averaged 130 games a season. The lack of playing time has adversely affected his offensive production. His glove does not merit more starts, and the Padres cannot wait for Castellanos to figure it out offensively. Unfortunately, walking back to the dugout after an at-bat has been the pattern all season.
Nick Castellanos is hitting .164 with one home run and nine RBI over 62 at-bats in the 2026 season.
The Padres may consider designating Castellanos for assignment to replace him with a more effective player, as his performance has not met expectations.
The Padres need to acquire a proven bat for their bench, potentially sacrificing versatility to improve their offensive production as the trade deadline approaches.

Such a roster move allows the front office to add a player who is more familiar with the bench role. Any candidate must be versatile to play multiple positions, but more importantly, have the ability to hit in the clutch. This void has been an issue for the last several seasons. The Friars have other roster issues to settle, but as we get deeper into the season, a deal to upgrade the bench must happen. With the trade deadline looming, the front office may have to sacrifice versatility to add a proven bat to the bench. Acquiring a seasoned veteran might be more valuable than versatility as we inch toward October. The signing of Castellanos has not worked out for either side. The Padres expected more power, and he largely has failed to deliver. The organization cannot wait much longer to revamp the bench.
