Detroit Tigers right fielder Nick Castellanos has been scratched from Sunday's lineup versus Seattle Mariners due to abdominal tightness.
Castellanos is considered day-to-day. He's been involved in trade rumors, so the timing of the injury could impact a potential deal. Gordon Beckham is now starting on second base and batting ninth, with Harold Castro moving to right field and hitting eighth. Brandon Dixon is now in the Tigers' cleanup spot Sunday, followed by Jeimer Candelario, Christin Stewart, and John Hicks.
Castellanos is hitting .276/.332/.466 with 11 home runs, 36 doubles, 37 RBI, and 56 runs scored in 431 plate appearances this season.
