Castellanos is hitting .313/.404/.697 with eight home runs and 25 runs batted in for Triple-A Las Vegas.

Castellanos has been raking for the 51s, which is not surprising given his career minor-league numbers. Despite that fine performance, he is likely not a candidate for a promotion any time soon.

Castellanos suffered a bruised right foot during Saturday's 6-4 Grapefruit League loss to the Tigers, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.

Manager Terry Collins initially said Castellanos rolled his ankle, but apparently the 28-year-old escaped with only a bruise. Castellanos is batting just .172 so far this spring and has dealt with a couple injuries, hurting his already minimal chances of breaking camp with the major league team.

X-rays on Castellanos' injured finger turned up negative Saturday, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports.

Castellanos took a pitch to his right index and middle fingers in Friday's exhibition against the Tigers, but it appears he was fortunate to avoid any sort of fracture. The Mets will likely keep him out of spring training action for the next few days as a precaution.

The team is labeling it a bruised right middle finger for now, but Castellanos is being sent for an X-ray to confirm it's nothing more serious.

Alex Castellanos smacked his first home run of the Cactus League season in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Castellanos has landed in his fourth organization since October. With Cameron Maybin (biceps) slated to begin the season on the disabled list, Castellanos should have a shot to crack the Opening Day roster.

The move clears a spot for the newly-signed Joe Saunders on the active roster. Castellanos has already been with two organizations since the end of last season and he could soon be on the move again.

Castellanos was designated for assignment by Boston earlier this month to clear a 40-man roster spot for the return of Mike Napoli. A dynamic athlete, the 27-year-old Castellnos batted .257/.347/.468 with 19 homers and 19 steals in 105 games this past summer at the Triple-A level. He could see action in the majors next year with Texas.

Alex Castellanos homered for the second straight game in Wednesday's 11-7 win over the Cubs.
