Athletics vs. San Diego Padres - News - May 23, 2026

Nick Castellanos - Belts homer Friday Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Castellanos went yard in the fifth inning to tie the game at 3-3. He has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over his last eight games, adding two homers and six RBI, though he's also racked up nine strikeouts without a walk in that span. The veteran outfielder is batting .198 with a .592 OPS, four homers, 19 RBI, eight runs scored, five doubles and a stolen base over 106 plate appearances. His playing time is trending up, but Castellanos could lose some playing time once Jake Cronenworth (concussion) returns, which would likely force Fernando Tatis back to the outfield. However, Cronenworth's return is not imminent.
