DETROIT – Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos has been scratched from Thursday's series finale against the Cleveland Indians due to a right toe injury.

Castellanos was set to bat second in the lineup before being scratched. This will be the first game he's missed this season.
Castellanos is hitting .255 with a .340 on-base percentage and .383 slugging percentage this season. He's hit four doubles and a triple but is still searching for his first home run.
The Tigers are coming off one of their most impressive offensive performances of the season: scoring four runs against Indians star Trevor Bauer.
Detroit is in first place by a half-game in the American League Central Division.
