Rob Thomson was right to punish Nick Castellanos. He probably should bench more Phillies more often.

Nick Castellanos dissed his manager and got punished. Not benched. Not rested. Punished.

Rob Thomson realigned his outfield defense late Monday in Miami, inserting Johan Rojas in center, pushing Brandon Marsh to left, pushing Max Kepler from left to right, and pulling Castellanos out of right field. Castellanos made an “inappropriate comment,” Thomson said.

Castellanos got benched on Tuesday, the worst punishment for him, and Thomson knew it. Good.
