Phillies Activate Outfielder

He's back just in time for the playoffs. 

The Philadelphia Phillies have activated outfielder Nick Castellanos from the 10-day injured list.

The Phillies' lineup gets a nice boost heading into Tuesday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs with Castellanos returning from a three-week absence due to a right oblique strain. 

The thirty-year-old has had a rather disappointing season, slashing .265/.305/.397, with 13 home runs, 61 RBIs, seven stolen bases and 53 runs scored over 499 at-bats. The seven stolen bases is a career-high for him.

The Phillies signed Nick Castellanos this past March to a massive five-year, $100-million deal.
