Rob Thomson finally admits harsh reality about Nick Castellanos' place with Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies fans and media love scrutinizing the daily lineups that manager Rob Thomson puts together for 162 games every season. One of the most recent obsessions has been with the corner outfield spots and specifically right field. More specifically, we've all become captivated by the building drama around Nick Castellanos' current role on the team.

Ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, Thomson put out a lineup that was missing Castellanos' name for the second time in three games, per On Pattison's Tim Kelly. Media in attendance, including MLB.com's Paul Casella, questioned the Phillies skipper about the status of right field and whether it's now a full-on platoon situation.
