Castellanos provides a big-time bat for Philadelphia's offense. Fans are eager to see him back in the lineup, so he can take some offensive pressure off of Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Fans will see him in action tonight as he's in the starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs. Philadelphia Phillies@PhilliesNick is back. #RingTheBell

Fans are hoping Nick Castellanos can get hot early at the plate. He'll face Marcus Strohman in his first game back tonight. Because Strohman is crafty and experienced, this could be a rough first game back for Castellanos. Stephen Tosh@anotherTosh@Phillies Really hope he's ready to hit right away. Can't afford let downs.@Phillies Really hope he's ready to hit right away. Can't afford let downs. Tyrone Johnson@TyJohnsonNewsHe is back with no minor league at bats. Wonder how he plays in these last 10 games. twitter.com/phillies/statu…Philadelphia Phillies@PhilliesThe Phillies have reinstated OF Nick Castellanos from the 10-day IL and optioned C Donny Sands to Lehigh Valley (AAA).473The Phillies have reinstated OF Nick Castellanos from the 10-day IL and optioned C Donny Sands to Lehigh Valley (AAA).He is back with no minor league at bats. Wonder how he plays in these last 10 games. twitter.com/phillies/statu… Tonight will be the first time Nick Castellanos will be facing live pitching in over three weeks. Castellanos did not want to reinjure his oblique while rehabbing in the minor leagues. This was a decision some fans thought was not a good move. Castellanos believed he just needed to rest and that any athletic activity could have kept him on the IL for a longer period of time. He wanted to rejoin the Philadelphia Phillies as soon as humanly possible. Jim Salisbury@JSalisburyNBCSRob Thomson said Nick Castellanos will not go on a minor league rehab assignment.

They are 83-69 going into Tuesday, which is good enough for the final NL Wild Card spot. They're faced with a must-win situation to close out the season as the Milwaukee Brewers are only one game behind them.

The Philadelphia Phillies could surprise a lot of teams if they can hold onto their NL Wild Card spot

Atlanta Braves v Philadelphia Phillies If the Philadelphia Phillies can close out the season strong and keep one of the NL Wild Card spots, they could surprise some teams in October. When healthy, they are a great all-around baseball team. They have a great starting rotation behind Zack Wheeler and Kyle Gibson. Their bullpen is lights out behind Jose Alvarado and David Peterson. They also have one of the scariest offensive lineups in all of baseball. Kyle Schwarber, who sits second in the league with the most homers, can change the score of the game with one swing of the bat. Pair their offense with a healthy Nick Castellanos and Bryce Harper, and this team can make some noise in the postseason.
