Pirates second baseman Rodolfo Castro may have taken his “call up” to the Majors on Tuesday a bit too literally.
During the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks, the Pittsburgh infielder lost his phone out of his back pocket while sliding headfirst into third base.
Castro, who was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the evening, got on base via a walk earlier in the inning. He was able to make his way for third on Oneil Cruz‘s single but the impact of his slide into the bag sent his phone flying from out of his pocket.
