Jun 28 2025Marsh went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been a little inconsistent at the plate lately, hitting safely in just four of his last eight games. He's 7-for-25 (.280) in that stretch, adding two RBI, two runs scored and two doubles. Marsh has taken a step back on the basepaths this year, posting just four steals on five attempts after swiping 19 bags on 22 tries in the 2024 regular season. The outfielder has added a reasonable .261/.337/.373 slash line with two home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles an a triple over 185 plate appearances. He continues to see a strong-side platoon role in center field, though he did face a left-handed pitcher earlier in the week at the tail end of a stretch of three straight opposing southpaws.
Jun 22 2025Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh had started in each of the Phillies' last nine games and batted .333 with four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple), five runs and three RBI, but Philadelphia faced right-handed starters in each of those contests. The Phillies are still seemingly viewing the left-handed-hitting Marsh as a platoon player, so he'll cede his spot in center field to the right-handed-hitting Johan Rojas on Sunday while southpaw David Peterson takes the hill for the Mets.
Jun 20 2025Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was the first three-hit game of the month by Marsh, who has now recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 outings. The 27-year-old outfielder is hitting a torrid .441 (15-for-34) with five extra-base hits, four RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base during that span. With Kyle Schwarber operating almost strictly as a designated hitter this season, Marsh has maintained a stable role in Philadelphia's outfield.
Jun 13 2025Marsh (elbow) is starting in center field and batting ninth Friday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh sat out Wednesday's contest after hyperextending his left elbow Tuesday, but he's ready to retake the field for Philadelphia after Thursday's team off day. The 27-year-old is off to a strong start in June, having gone 7-for-17 with three walks, a double and a stolen base in nine games.
Jun 11 2025Marsh (elbow) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was lifted from Tuesday's game after hyperextending his left elbow on a slide. It's no surprise he's sitting out Wednesday's matinee, especially with a team off day looming Thursday. However, Marsh is expected to be available off the bench and should have a good shot to return to the lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Johan Rojas will patrol center field and bat ninth for the Phillies on Wednesday.
Jun 10 2025Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh looked a little uncomfortable after sliding into second base during the second inning, though he wasn't removed until the sixth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for a while could signal that his injury isn't too serious, though the Phillies will likely offer some more details in the near future. Johan Rojas would be the favorite to pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another game or two.
May 25 2025Marsh will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Marsh was on the bench for three of the Phillies' last four contests, with each of his absences coming against a left-handed starting pitcher. He'll be back in the lineup Sunday against Athletics righty Gunnar Hoglund and looks poised to occupy the strong side of a platoon in center field with Johan Rojas moving forward.
May 11 2025Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though the Phillies are facing a sixth consecutive right-handed starter (Luis L. Ortiz) on Sunday, the left-handed-hitting Marsh has now found himself out of the lineup on three occasions during that stretch. After previously occupying the strong side of a platoon in center field, Marsh looks to have fallen into a true timeshare at the position with Johan Rojas, who gets the nod Sunday.
May 9 2025Marsh is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even with right-hander Gavin Williams on the mound for Cleveland, Marsh is sitting for the second time in three days. Johan Rojas is starting in center field and batting eighth for Philadelphia. Marsh has struggled to the tune of a .170/.274/.264 slash line with just one home run and seven RBI across 63 plate appearances this season.
May 7 2025Marsh is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays are sending a right-hander in Shane Baz to the mound, but the left-handed-hitting Marsh will nevertheless begin the contest on the bench. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth for the Phillies.
May 4 2025Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Bryson Stott and Max Kepler while the Diamondbacks send Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill for the series finale. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Marsh started in center field in the Phillies' 7-2 win over Arizona, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
May 3 2025The Phillies reinstated Marsh (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A strained right hamstring has kept Marsh on the injured list since April 20. He began a minor-league rehab assignment four days later, but his time in the minors was extended slightly after he left a game early with a cramp in the same hamstring. Now, after going 6-for-20 with a homer, six RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in six rehab games, Marsh will return to Philadelphia and presumably reclaim his usual role in center field. Cal Stevenson was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Apr 30 2025Marsh (hamstring) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh suffered a cramp in his right hamstring at Lehigh Valley on Sunday, which is the same hamstring in which he suffered the strain that sent him to the injured list. However, after three days of rest, Marsh will play Thursday and Friday before being evaluated for a potential return to the Phillies' active roster.
Apr 20 2025The Phillies placed Marsh (knee) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to a right hamstring strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder sat out the previous three games after tweaking his knee Wednesday against the Giants, but the hamstring issue is what prompted his move to the IL. Marsh is 0-for-31 with 11 strikeouts and five walks in his past 14 contests, and the injury could provide an opportunity to regroup. Johan Rojas should continue to see the bulk of the playing time in center field, though Cal Stevenson was also called up Sunday.
Apr 19 2025Marsh (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saturday will mark Marsh's third consecutive absence from the lineup since he tweaked his knee during Wednesday's contest. The team has previously said that they don't expect the 27-year-old to spend time on the injured list, though that may change if he's unable to play again soon. Johan Rojas will continue to fill in for Marsh in center field, batting ninth against Cal Quantrill.
Apr 18 2025Marsh (knee) is not in the Phillies' starting lineup against the Marlins on Friday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh is working through a right knee injury that popped up during Wednesday's game against the Giants. The injury isn't considered severe enough for him to be placed on the IL, but Marsh will miss Friday's series opener and is considered day-to-day. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth against Miami right-hander Sandy Alcantara.
Apr 17 2025Manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Marsh (knee) is day-to-day and is not expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Giants, as Johan Rojas started in center field and went 0-for-2 with a walk in the Phillies' 6-4 victory. Marsh is hitless in the month of April and is slashing .095/.220.167 with one home run, five RBI, three runs scored and 7:16 BB:K on the season. Rojas figures to soak up the bulk of the playing time in center field for however long Marsh is sidelined.
Apr 16 2025Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though manager Rob Thomson floated the possibility Monday that Marsh could be held out of the lineup for the first three games of the series versus San Francisco, the 27-year-old ended up starting in Tuesday's 6-4 win. He couldn't get off the schneid, however, going 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly to bring his batting average down to .100 on the season. The left-handed-hitting Marsh will be back on the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for San Francisco, and Marsh could be at risk of losing out on more starts against right-handers as well if he's unable to break out of his funk at the plate in the near future.
Apr 15 2025Marsh will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game versus the Giants, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Phillies manager Rob Thomson had indicated the slumping Marsh would likely be out of the lineup for multiple days as a reset, but Marsh has managed to talk his way into the lineup after a one-day absence. He'll enter play Tuesday in a 0-for-26 tailspin.
Apr 14 2025Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Monday that Marsh will likely be out of the lineup for three straight days as the outfielder receives a mental and physical break, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh hasn't tallied a hit since March 30, so the Phillies will give him some extended rest to regroup. He is out of Monday's lineup and it sounds like the soonest he will be back in action is Thursday. Johan Rojas is patrolling center field Monday and should do so the following two days, as well.
Apr 8 2025Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will head to the bench for Tuesday's contest with lefty Chris Sale taking the mound for Atlanta. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in the series opener.
Apr 2 2025Marsh is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was in the lineup the first two times the Phillies went up against a lefty this season, but the left-handed-hitting Marsh will take a seat Wednesday versus southpaw Kyle Freeland. Johan Rojas will cover center field and bat ninth for Philadelphia.
Mar 29 2025Marsh went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and additional run in a 11-6 win over the Nationals on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Phillies ahead 7-3 in the seventh inning, Marsh put the game out of reach with a three-run shot to right field on the first pitch he saw. It's the first homer of the season for the 27-year-old outfielder who had a productive 2024 season with 16 homers, 60 RBI and a .747 OPS over 418 at-bats.
Mar 17 2025Marsh (knee) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game versus the Pirates, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh had to be removed from Sunday's game against the Orioles with a bruised left knee, but he'll be back in there after a day of rest Monday. The 27-year-old is slated to open the 2025 campaign as the Phillies' primary center fielder.
Mar 16 2025Marsh was removed from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles due to a left knee bruise, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh sustained the injury during the opening frame of Sunday's contest when he fell on the warning track, and Philadelphia has labeled his exit as precautionary. The 27-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.
Jan 9 2025The Phillies and Marsh avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will get a big pay increase in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 27-year-old hit .249/.328/.419 with 16 long balls and 19 stolen bases for the Phillies in 2024. Marsh is projected to be the club's primary center fielder against right-handed pitching in 2025.

The outfielder has hit safely in 10 of 13 September contests with five extra-base hits and seven runs scored. On the season, he is hitting .255 with 16 home runs, 56 RBI, 53 runs and 16 steals across 442 plate appearances.
Sep 15 2024Marsh is not starting Sunday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets are sending southpaw David Peterson to the mound Sunday, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will begin the game on the bench.

The outfielder is now at a .246/.321/.422 slash line with 14 homers, 51 RBI, 46 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 13 doubles and three triples through 392 plate appearances. He has split time between center field and left field while playing in a strong-side platoon role this year.
Aug 21 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After manning left field in the first two games of the series while going 1-for-6 with a solo home run and a walk, the lefty-hitting Marsh will retreat to the bench Wednesday while Atlanta sends ace lefty Max Fried to the mound. Weston Wilson will spell Marsh in left field.
Aug 17 2024Marsh is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander MacKenzie Gore is starting Saturday, which marks the Phillies' third straight game against an opposing lefty starter. Marsh will begin the contest in the dugout while Weston Wilson and Johan Rojas start in left and center field, respectively.
Aug 16 2024Marsh is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Jul 27 2024Manager Rob Thomson said Saturday that Marsh and Johan Rojas will split center field work but won't be in a straight platoon, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh had been the Phillies' starting left fielder against right-handed pitching but the team is opting to deploy Austin Hays in left every day. Instead, Marsh will slide to center field. The lefty-hitting Marsh is expected to start most games against right-handed pitching while Rojas starts against lefties. Still, Rojas could see some work against right-handers. Marsh is slashing .247/.325/.410 with nine homers and 12 stolen bases this season.
Jul 23 2024Marsh (elbow) will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus the Twins.

Jul 12 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will avoid a matchup with southpaw Hogan Harris on Friday. Weston Wilson, Cristian Pache and Nick Castellanos will fill the outfield from left to right.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh walked and swiped second in the fourth inning to match a career-high with his 10th stolen base of the season. It's his third season with at least 10 stolen bases, but he did so in his 69th game this season, when he needed 134 and 133 games to do so in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The 26-year-old is hitting .261/.344/.408 with 7 homers and 32 RBI in his fourth season.

Jun 28 2024Marsh went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a stolen base in a 2-0 win over the Marlins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh doubled in the second inning and walked and stole second in the fourth. He later walked again in the eighth and has reached base seven times in his past two starts with a home run and a steal. With recent injuries to Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin), the lefty was in the cleanup spot Friday night and will likely continue to hit in the middle of the order against right-handed pitching while they remain on the injured-list. The 26-year-old is now hitting .270 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine steals through 225 plate appearances this season.
Jun 27 2024Marsh is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's southpaw Trevor Rogers toeing the rubber for Miami, so the left-handed hitting Marsh will take a seat. Cristian Pache will be in center field and Kyle Schwarber will cover left.
Jun 26 2024Marsh went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh snapped a career-long home run drought in a big way on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old is hitting .269/.345/.425 with seven home runs and 31 RBI.
Jun 25 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lefty Tarik Skubal is taking the mound for the Tigers, so Marsh will start Tuesday's contest on the bench. Cristian Pache will man center field and bat eighth while Whit Merrifield starts in left field.
Jun 22 2024Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Tommy Henry will start on the mound for Arizona, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat on the Phillies' bench to begin Saturday's contest.

Jun 21 2024Marsh is absent from the starting lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Jun 15 2024The Phillies activated Marsh (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh wound up missing just under two weeks of action with a right hamstring strain. He was cleared to return after going 4-for-8 with one walk in two rehab games with Double-A Reading. Marsh has slashed .265/.344/.426 with six homers and eight steals for the Phillies this season.
Jun 14 2024Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that it's a "possibility" Marsh (hamstring) is activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Friday and it sounds like that could be the only rehab game he needs if he comes out of it well. The outfielder has been sidelined since early June with a strained right hamstring.
Jun 13 2024Marsh (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been working out with Reading in recent days and is ready to test out his strained right hamstring in a game setting. The outfielder shouldn't require too many rehab games before being activated since he just landed on the 10-day injured list June 3. A return early next week at the start of the Phillies' homestand seems like a sensible target for Marsh.
Jun 11 2024Marsh (hamstring) is working out with Double-A Reading and is expected to appear in games with the affiliate this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was placed on the IL on June 3 with a mild strain in his right hamstring and now appears on the verge of a rehab assignment. The outfielder likely won't be able to return when he's first eligible Thursday, but he should be back with the Phillies within the next week or two.
Jun 3 2024Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Marsh, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday is dealing with a "very mild" right hamstring strain, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh strained the hamstring late in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. While the Phillies aren't putting an official timeline on Marsh's return from the IL, he appears to have a shot to make it back when he's first eligible June 13, or close to it. David Dahl was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and will start in left field in Marsh's place in Monday's game against the Brewers.
Jun 2 2024Marsh suffered a right hamstring strain and was removed from Sunday's contest with the Cardinals in the bottom of the eighth inning, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh notched a single off of reliever Andrew Kittredge to open the bottom of the eighth, leaving the game after advancing to second base on a base knock from Nick Castellanos. The outfielder will likely undergo additional testing on his leg and a trip to the injured list is certainly on the table.
May 29 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Kyle Harrison is on the hill for the Giants in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will bow out of the starting nine. Whit Merrifield steps in for Marsh as the Phillies' starting left fielder.
May 27 2024Marsh is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Blake Snell will be toeing the slab for the Giants, offering the Phillies an opportunity to give the left-handed hitting Marsh a breather. Right-handed batter Cristian Pache will patrol left field.
May 23 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will bow out of the starting nine for the series finale as the Phillies face off against a lefty (Andrew Heaney) in a day game after a night game. Whit Merrifield will step in for Marsh in left field and bat eighth.
May 18 2024Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw MacKenzie Gore will take the mound to begin Saturday's contest for the Nats, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will step out of the lineup. While he sits, Cristian Pache will pick up a start in left field while batting eighth.
May 15 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Joey Lucchesi on the bump for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Marsh will head to the bench Wednesday. Cristian Pache replaces him in left field.
May 10 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will avoid a matchup with the left-handed Trevor Rogers on Friday, giving the 26-year-old his first day off since May 1. Cristian Pache will fill the hole at left field.
May 1 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies will withhold Marsh and fellow lefty-hitting regular Bryson Stott from the lineup for the series finale while the Angels bring southpaw Patrick Sandoval to the hill. Kyle Schwarber checks in as the Phillies' starting left fielder in Marsh's stead.
Apr 26 2024Marsh went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh knocked an RBI double in the first inning followed by a two-run blast in the third, both coming against Joe Musgrove. It was Marsh's sixth long ball of the year, though he had just one over his previous 11 games before Friday's big performance. He's now slashing .291/.329/.570 with nine extra-base hits and 16 RBI through 85 plate appearances this season. Friday's game was his second multi-hit showing over his last 14 contests.
Apr 24 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh went 0-for-3 with a walk as the Phillies' cleanup hitter in Monday's 7-0 win in the series opener in Cincinnati, but he now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row while Philadelphia opposes a left-handed starting pitcher (Nick Lodolo) once again. Cristian Pache will draw the start in left field and should continue to fill the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Marsh.
Apr 22 2024Marsh will start in left field and bat cleanup Monday in Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Bryce Harper (personal) landing on the paternity list Monday, Marsh will climb in the batting order. J.T. Realmuto is sliding up one spot to Harper's usual place in the three hole, while Marsh will move into Realmuto's typical cleanup spot.
Apr 19 2024Marsh is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the previous four games, including one start against a left-handed pitcher, but he'll take a seat Friday as Garrett Crochet pitches for Chicago. Whit Merrifield will man left field and bat seventh.
Apr 13 2024Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat as left-hander Marco Gonzales prepares to start on the mound for Pittsburgh. Cristian Pache will fill the void in left field and bat eighth while Marsh sits.
Apr 12 2024Marsh went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 5-1 win against the Pirates on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies were clinging to a narrow 1-0 lead in the seventh inning when Marsh gave them some breathing room with a two-run blast off talented rookie Jared Jones. The long ball was the outfielder's fourth of the campaign through 12 games. He's already one-third of the way to the 12 homers he hit over 133 contests last season, and Marsh has added a .333/.357/.641 slash line, nine RBI, six runs and a stolen base to his strong start.
Apr 10 2024Marsh will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game in St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been the Phillies' best hitter in the early going this season, putting together a .344/.371/.625 batting line with three home runs. He will switch lineup spots with fellow left-handed batter Bryson Stott, who has been moved down to the No. 8 spot.
Apr 8 2024Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh singled and scored a run in the fifth inning before capping off his day with a solo blast in the ninth. He was just 2-for-11 over his previous four games since his last long ball April 2. Marsh is now slashing .310/.323/.621 with three home runs and six RBI through 31 plate appearances.
Apr 7 2024Marsh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Washington's MacKenzie Gore is the fifth left-handed starter the Phillies have faced this season, and Marsh has started just one of those games. Whit Merrifield will take over in left field and bat seventh.
Apr 2 2024Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh notched his first multi-hit game of the early season and capped it off with a solo blast in the eighth to pad the Phillies' lead. The 26-year-old also managed to not strike out after doing so seven times over his first 10 at-bats. Marsh has shown some added power early on with both his home runs being hit to the opposite field, though opening the year in the strong side of a platoon hurts his ceiling a bit.
Mar 31 2024Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old clubbed a two-run homer Opening Day but finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest Sunday as Chris Sale makes it consecutive lefty starters for Atlanta. Marsh had an .830 OPS in 133 games last season but fared worse against southpaws with a .229/.321/.396 slash line in 110 plate appearances, and he appears locked into the strong side of a platoon in left field to begin 2024. Cristian Pache is manning left field and batting eighth.
Mar 30 2024Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against Atlanta, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will get a breather after swatting a two-run homer during Friday's loss. Whit Merrifield will take his place in left field and bat eighth.
Mar 29 2024Marsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old outfielder lofted a Spencer Strider fastball over the fence in left-center field in the fifth inning for the game's first runs. Marsh took a step forward at the plate in 2023, including a .292/.287/.477 slash line over 362 plate appearances against right-handers, and he could be very effective on the strong side of a platoon in left field with Whit Merrifield this season.
Mar 13 2024Marsh (knee) will start in left field and bat eighth Wednesday in the Phillies' Grapefruit League game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in early February, Marsh was eased into baseball activities to begin spring training, and the 26-year-old has apparently responded well after gradually increasing the intensity of his workouts. Marsh had already played in an intrasquad game last week, but he'll now test out his knee in an uncontrolled setting for what will be his Grapefruit League debut. Because of the time he's already missed, Marsh will still need to stack up at-bats over the course of several games to guarantee his availability for Opening Day, but he appears on track to do that provided he doesn't experience a setback with his knee along the way.
Mar 9 2024Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday that Marsh (knee) could make his Grapefruit League debut by the middle or end of next week, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Working his way back from arthroscopic left knee surgery, Marsh took five live at-bats on Saturday and is now up to 29 at-bats off live pitching this spring. He will serve as a designated hitter in an intrasquad game Sunday and could be ready for an official spring game not long after that. The hope remains that Marsh will be ready to go for Opening Day, but he's working with a tight window.
Mar 7 2024Marsh (knee) played in a minor-league intrasquad game Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh resumed taking batting practice Friday, and getting back into a game environment is a good sign that Marsh is recovering well from his arthroscopic knee surgery. It remains unclear whether or not Marsh will return in time to play in the Grapefruit League, but the Phillies have not yet ruled him out for Opening Day.
Mar 1 2024Marsh (knee) progressed to taking regular batting practice Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's another box checked off for Marsh, whose rehab from left knee surgery has gone as well as can be expected. While it's not yet clear when he might be able to participate in Grapefruit League games, the hope remains that he has enough time to be ready for Opening Day.
Feb 21 2024Marsh (knee) said Wednesday that he's been cleared for jogging, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Resuming light running work represents Marsh's first meaningful step forward in his recovery from the left knee scope he underwent earlier this month. He's expected to require 3-to-4 weeks to make a full recovery from the procedure, and while the Phillies anticipate that Marsh will be ready for Opening Day, he's unlikely to be cleared for game action until late in the Grapefruit League schedule. When healthy, Marsh is projected to handle the strong side of a platoon in left field with Whit Merrifield, though full-time roles would likely be opened up for both Merrifield and center fielder Johan Rojas if Marsh hits a snag in his recovery and is forced to begin the season on the injured list.
Feb 9 2024Marsh will be sidelined 3-4 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies expect Marsh to be back in time for Opening Day, but he won't be working with much margin for error. It's a hit to the outfield depth of a Phillies team that was already pretty thin. Marsh is tentatively slated to be Philadelphia's left fielder, although he could slide back over to center field if the club decides Johan Rojas isn't ready.
Oct 12 2023Marsh is starting in left field and batting eighth Thursday in Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been sitting versus lefties this postseason, but he'll get the nod Thursday versus right-hander Spencer Strider as the Phillies look to eliminate the NL East champs. Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 victory in Game 3.
Oct 11 2023Marsh is starting in left field and batting eighth Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's only Marsh's second start in five games this postseason, as he's began on the bench each of the three times the Phillies have faced a left-hander. Marsh is hitless in six playoff at-bats.
Oct 9 2023Marsh is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLDS against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies are facing their third lefty in four games so far this postseason as they go up against Max Fried in Game 2. Marsh has began on the bench for all of them, with Cristian Pache patrolling left field and Johan Rojas handling center.
Oct 4 2023Marsh remains out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series versus the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh began Game 1 on the bench with left-hander Jesus Luzardo toeing the slab for Miami, and he'll take a seat again to kick off Game 2 as southpaw Braxton Garrett gets the starting nod. Cristian Pache, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos are canvassing the outfield for the Phillies as they look to close out this best-of-three series and advance to the best-of-five NLDS.
Oct 3 2023Marsh is absent from the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cristian Pache, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will start across the outfield as the Phillies take on left-hander Jesus Luzardo. The left-handed-hitting Marsh slashed .229/.321/.396 in 110 plate appearances versus southpaws during the regular season.
Oct 1 2023Marsh went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh's contributions came late Sunday -- he had an RBI single in the eighth inning and a three-run blast one frame later. The outfielder hit poorly in September, batting .200 with two homers and eight RBI across 23 games last month. He finishes the regular season with a .277/.372/.458 slash line, a career-high 12 long balls, 60 RBI, 58 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 133 games. Marsh should be in the lineup regularly versus right-handers as the Phillies look to defend their National League pennant from 2022.
Sep 30 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during the Phillies' Game 1 loss, and he'll take a seat for the nightcap with left-hander Jose Quintana starting for the Mets. Cristian Pache will pick up a start in left field while batting ninth.
Sep 28 2023Marsh is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Having already clinched the top NL wild-card spot, the Phillies continue to find rest for their regulars. Jake Cave will start in left field Thursday as Cristian Pache patrols center.
Sep 23 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will stay put in the dugout as left-handed starter Jose Quintana toes the slab for the Mets. Kyle Schwarber will fill in as Philadelphia's left fielder, moving Bryce Harper into the DH spot, Alec Bohm to first base and Edmundo Sosa in as the starting third baseman.
Sep 21 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup Thursday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander David Peterson will start on the mound for New York, meaning the left-handed bat of Marsh will retreat to the dugout to begin Thursday's contest. Cristian Pache will start in left field and bat ninth while Marsh sits.
Sep 15 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup Friday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat for the start of Friday's game with Zack Thompson set to start on the mound for St. Louis. Johan Rojas will man center field instead and bat ninth.
Sep 12 2023Marsh is absent from the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Johan Rojas will patrol center field and bat ninth as the Phillies take on left-hander Max Fried. Marsh has slashed just .236/.320/.382 in 101 plate appearances versus lefties this year.
Sep 4 2023Marsh is not in Monday's lineup against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh heads to the bench with lefty Rich Hill starting for San Diego. Cristian Pache is starting in center field and batting eighth.
Sep 3 2023Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Wade Miley will be on the mound for the Brewers, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will head to the bench after starting the first two games of the series. Cristian Pache will take over in center field and bat eighth in the series finale.
Aug 29 2023Marsh went 2-for-4 with a RBI and stolen base in Monday's 6-4 victory over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh provided an insurance run with his eighth-inning RBI single and proceeded to steal second base. The 25-year-old outfielder has now hit safely in all six of the games he has played in since his Aug. 20 return from the injured list. He is slashing .450/.522/.650 with a double, a homer, five RBI, 5 runs scored and two steals across 23 plate appearances during that span.
Aug 29 2023Marsh is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Johan Rojas will play center field and bat ninth with left-hander Tyler Alexander toeing the slab for the Halos. Marsh carries a .670 OPS in 92 plate appearances this year against southpaws. He's posted a .905 OPS in 292 plate appearances against righties.
Aug 27 2023Marsh is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Johan Rojas will patrol center field and bat ninth as the Phillies take on left-hander Drew Rom. Marsh has slashed just .220/.289/.366 in 91 plate appearances this year against lefties.
Aug 22 2023Marsh is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth as the Phillies take on young left-hander Kyle Harrison. Marsh carries a .662 OPS in 88 plate appearances this year against lefties, compared to an .875 OPS in 277 plate appearances versus righties.
Aug 21 2023Marsh is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh knocked in a run and scored a run in Sunday's contest, but that was the first game he appeared in since Aug. 5 and he is being eased back into action. Johan Rojas will get the nod in center field Monday night.
Aug 20 2023Marsh (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in his return from the IL. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been on the IL for the past two weeks with a bruised left knee, but he'll rejoin the active roster Sunday after going 3-for-6 with four walks during a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 25-year-old has a .281/.367/.460 slash line through 361 plate appearances this season and should reclaim a regular spot in Philadelphia's lineup, especially against right-handed pitching, now that he's healthy.
Aug 16 2023Marsh (knee) will participate in all non-game activities with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday and is expected to serve as the affiliate's designated hitter Thursday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirerreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old only just landed on the injured list Aug. 6 with a bruised left knee, but he's already on the cusp of game action. The Phillies will likely want to see Marsh play the outfield prior to returning him to the active roster, but he could be reinstated within the next week if there are no setbacks.
Aug 15 2023Marsh (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has already joined up with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and was spotted doing pregame running drills ahead of their Tuesday night tilt against the Triple-A affiliate of the Marlins. Out since Aug. 6 with a bruised left knee, the 25-year-old outfielder appears on track to return to the Phillies' active roster early next week.
Aug 6 2023The Phillies placed Marsh on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a bruised left knee, which is expected to keep him on the shelf for 2-to-3 weeks, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Philadelphia called up Weston Wilson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide an extra body in the outfield while Marsh is sidelined. Wilson could end up filling the short side of a platoon in left field with the lefty-hitting Jake Cave on days that Kyle Schwarber isn't serving as a designated hitter, and Marsh's injury will further insulate Johan Rojas as the Phillies' everyday center fielder. Marsh had gotten off to a hot start to the second half with a .327/.456/.527 slash line to go with one home run, one stolen base, 10 RBI and nine runs in 20 games, but with the expectation that he'll be shelved until late August, fantasy managers may not have the luxury of stashing him at this stage of the season. On a more fortunate note for Marsh, manager Rob Thomson told Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer that an X-ray and MRI on the outfielder's knee revealed no structural damage.
Aug 5 2023Marsh left Saturday's victory over the Royals with a bruised left knee, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started in center field Saturday and went 1-for-2, but he left the game prior to the top of the fifth inning and was replaced by Johan Rojas. Marsh will undergo further testing, which should determine whether or not he will miss any further time.
Aug 2 2023Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh is getting the day off while southpaw Braxton Garrett toes the rubber for the Marlins. Johan Rojas will check in for Marsh in center field.
Jul 30 2023Marsh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Veteran left-hander Rich Hill will take the mound Sunday for Pittsburgh, leading to a day off for Marsh. Johan Rojas will man center field and bat ninth in Marsh's place.
Jul 24 2023Marsh is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will get a day off after he went 7-for-23 with two triples, a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base while starting the Phillies' last seven games. Johan Rojas will take over in center field and bat ninth in the series opener with Baltimore.
Jul 15 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored during Saturday's first game, Marsh will take a seat for the nightcap against southpaw Ryan Weathers. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Marsh's place.
Jul 8 2023Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat Saturday as Miami sends southpaw Braxton Garrett to start on the mound. Cristian Pache will fill in as Philadelphia's center fielder and bat ninth.
Jul 1 2023Marsh will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will hit the bench against lefty MacKenzie Gore, with Christian Pache taking over in center field. Marsh has spent parts of this season looking like a true everyday player but is currently being used in more of a platoon role, sitting against four of the last five southpaws the Phillies have faced. Given that he's striking out at a 45.5 percent clip in 66 plate appearances against lefties this year, it's likely that arrangement will continue.
Jun 28 2023Marsh is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cristian Pache is covering center field and batting ninth versus the Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. Marsh has produced an .898 OPS this year against righties but just a .649 OPS against southpaws.
Jun 27 2023Marsh went 2-for-3 with two homers, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder took Jameson Taillon deep in both the second and fifth frames for his sixth and seventh home runs of the campaign. The long balls are Marsh's first in June and brought an end to a 21-game homer drought. The 25-year-old is on pace for the best season of his career with a .283/.365/.469 slash line, 13 doubles, four stolen bases, 32 RBI and 32 runs through 71 games.
Jun 16 2023Marsh isn't starting Friday against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat Friday against southpaw JP Sears. Instead, Cristian Pache will take over for Marsh in center field and bat ninth.
Jun 12 2023Marsh is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Tommy Henry is starting for Arizona, so the Phillies will go with Daulton Guthrie in center field. Marsh is 3-for-23 with 15 strikeouts over his last seven games.
Jun 5 2023Marsh is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Tigers, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will get a breather against Tigers southpaw Joey Wentz after going 2-for-9 with three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over the Phillies' three-game series with Washington this past weekend. Dalton Guthrie will spell Marsh in center field and bat ninth in the series opener with Detroit.
May 24 2023Marsh (shoulder) will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh is slated to rejoin the lineup after missing the Phillies' previous three games with right shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old had been in line to re-enter the starting nine Tuesday, only for him to be scratched from the lineup ahead of the 4-3 loss. With that in mind, those planning on deploying Marsh in DFS lineups or in season-long leagues with daily moves will probably want to confirm he hasn't been scratched ahead of Wednesday's 1:05 p.m. ET opening pitch.
May 23 2023The Phillies scratched Marsh from Tuesday's lineup due to right shoulder inflammation, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh is officially being listed as day-to-day, but it's possible he's forced to miss multiple games due to his shoulder. Dalton Guthrie will start in center field Tuesday in Marsh's place.
May 22 2023Marsh is not in the Phillies' lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona is throwing left-hander Tommy Henry, so Marsh will take a seat in favor of the right-handed hitting Daulton Guthrie. Marsh is in a dreadful 1-for-24 slump at the plate.
May 21 2023Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the past seven games, including two starts against left-handed pitchers, but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-21 with six walks, a stolen base and six strikeouts during that span. Dalton Guthrie will man center field against Chicago lefty Justin Steele.
May 16 2023Marsh went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh entered Tuesday on an 0-for-11 slump, though he had six walks in that span. The outfielder was able to snap that skid while also notching his second steal of the season -- his only other theft was April 8 versus the Reds. Marsh is slashing .288/.408/.525 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight doubles and four triples through 40 contests.
May 12 2023Marsh is absent from the Phillies' lineup Friday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies are throwing southpaw Austin Gomber, so Marsh will sit in favor of Daulton Guthrie. Marsh, for what it's worth, has a 1.066 OPS with two homers in 31 plate appearances against lefties this season.
May 5 2023Marsh is absent from the starting lineup Friday versus the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dalton Guthrie will play center field and bat ninth with left-hander Chris Sale on the bump for Boston. Kyle Schwarber is in left and Nick Castellanos is in right.
Apr 28 2023Marsh isn't starting Friday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Framber Valdez will start on the mound for Houston, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will begin Friday's contest in the dugout. Cristian Pache will instead start in center field and bat ninth.
Apr 5 2023Marsh is considered day-to-day with a mild left ankle sprain after being scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cristian Pache took Marsh's spot in center field Wednesday. The Phillies will presumably reassess Marsh's condition early Thursday before determining if he's fit to re-enter the lineup for the team's series opener in Cincinnati later that day.
Apr 2 2023Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will head to the bench while Texas brings southpaw Martin Perez to the hill for the series finale. Cristian Pache will man center field in place of Marsh, who went 2-for-7 with two extra-base hits, an RBI and a run while starting the first two games of the season.
Nov 5 2022Marsh will be on the bench for Game 6 of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will hit the bench against lefty Framber Valdez, just as he did in Game 2. Matt Vierling will start in center field.
Nov 2 2022Marsh went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base during Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Astros in Game 4 of the World Series. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was one of only three baserunners on the night for the Phillies, as they were no-hit by the Houston pitching staff. The 24-year-old was able to steal second off pitcher Cristian Javier in the third inning, his 11th steal on the year in 15 attempts. The 0-for-2 performance brings his postseason average down to .194 over 36 at bats. Marsh is 1-for-3 with a double and three walks in his career against projected Game 5 starter Justin Verlander.
Nov 1 2022Marsh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Astros in Game 3 of the World Series. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh took Lance McCullers deep to make the score 4-0 in the second inning, hitting the third of five Phillies homers on the night. The 24-year-old came into Game 3 with just five hits and 14 K's over 31 at bats in the postseason, so it was a pleasant surprise for the Phillies that he was a productive source of offense. Marsh is now hitting .206 with two homers and five RBI in the playoffs. For his career, he is 4-for-7 with a double against projected Game 4 starter Christian Javier.
Oct 29 2022Marsh will sit for Game 2 of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh hits the bench in favor of Matt Vierling as Houston sends lefty Framber Valdez to the mound to try to even the series. Marsh could still make an appearance off the bench, particularly if Vierling is set to face a right-handed reliever later in the game.
Oct 19 2022Marsh is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the Phillies' National League Championship Series with the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies will send two of their lefty-hitting regulars (Marsh and Bryson Stott) to the bench with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for San Diego. Matt Vierling will spell Marsh in center field.
Oct 11 2022Marsh will be on the bench for Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh hasn't sat against every lefty since his move to Philadelphia at the deadline, but he's been on the bench more often than not. Matt Vierling will start in center field against southpaw Max Fried.
Oct 6 2022Marsh will be out of the lineup for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cardinals on Friday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: St. Louis will send out lefty Jose Quintana for the opening game of the series, so Matt Vierling will start in center field for Philadelphia. Marsh posted a .774 OPS in 41 games after being acquired by the Phillies at the trade deadline, and he'll likely be back in the lineup Saturday with righty Miles Mikolas set to pitch for the Cardinals.
Oct 5 2022Marsh isn't starting Wednesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh hasn't started against a left-handed pitcher in nearly a month, and he'll take a seat with southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound for the Astros on Wednesday. Matt Vierling will take over in center field and bat sixth.
Oct 2 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has an .804 OPS in his past nine games and will head to the bench Sunday with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. Matt Vierling will take over in center field in the series finale for Philadelphia.
Sep 23 2022Marsh (knee) is starting in center field and batting sixth Friday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh exited Tuesday's game against Toronto early after jumping into the outfield wall ended in an awkward landing and a bruised left knee. After two days off, he's back in the lineup against Jake Odorizzi, whom he is 2-for-5 against in his career.
Sep 22 2022Marsh (knee) is not in Thursday's lineup against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies are facing lefty Max Fried, so Marsh may have opened the game on the bench even if he is fully recovered from his bruised left knee. Matt Vierling will start in center field and hit seventh.
Sep 21 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh exited early with the injury in Tuesday's 18-11 loss. He was able to test out his knee earlier Wednesday by running in the outfield and taking batting practice, but the Phillies decided to err on the side of caution by holding him out of the lineup for at least one game. Matt Vierling will pick up the start in center field in place of Marsh.
Sep 20 2022Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against Toronto with left knee discomfort, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh jumped in the outfield wall during the third inning and suffered the injury as he made an awkward landing, which forced him from the contest during the following frame. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and he should be considered day-to-day for now. Matt Vierling moves over to center field while Dalton Guthrie has come in to play right field.
Sep 16 2022Marsh isn't starting Friday against Atlanta, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the last five games and went 10-for-19 with a home run, a triple, two doubles, four RBI, three runs and a stolen base. Matt Vierling will take over in center field and bat seventh with left-hander Max Fried on the mound Friday.
Sep 11 2022Marsh went 3-for-4 with one double, one home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh tallied an RBI double in the fourth and later homered off righty reliever Jordan Weems to lead off the sixth and increase the Phillies' lead to five. The outfielder broke a stretch of four straight games without reaching base safely, and he struck out six times in 12 at-bats during that span. The 24-year-old's .458 OPS in 100 plate appearances against left-handed pitching means that he often rides the bench against southpaws.
Sep 9 2022Marsh will sit against southpaw Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies haven't been sitting Marsh against every lefty, but his off day here means he's now been on the bench against three of the last four left-handers the team has faced. Matt Vierling will take over in center field.
Sep 6 2022Marsh is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second straight game, Marsh is on the bench against a same-handed pitcher (Jesus Luzardo). Matt Vierling is starting in center field and batting seventh.
Sep 4 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will head to the bench while the Giants bring southpaw Carlos Rodon to the hill for the series finale. The righty-hitting Matt Vierling steps in for Marsh as the Phillies' starter in center field.
Aug 31 2022Marsh went 3-for-6 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 18-2 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh supplied a two-run triple and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning, then added an RBI single and another run on a wild pitch in the eighth. The outfielder has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 9-for-24 (.375) in that span, which also saw him endure a minimum stint on the injured list with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old is slashing .235/.288/.364/ with nine home runs, three triples, 11 doubles, 45 RBI and 40 runs scored through 109 contests between the Phillies and the Angels this year.
Aug 30 2022Marsh went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Marsh's first homer as a Phillie, though it came in the eighth inning of a blowout loss. It was also his second multi-hit effort, and he's hitting .256 (11-for-43) through 15 games since he was traded from the Angels. For the season, the 24-year-old outfielder is slashing .230/.285/.355 with nine home runs, 42 RBI, 38 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 368 plate appearances.
Aug 28 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though the lefty-hitting Marsh is expected to see the bulk of the opportunities in center field against right-handed pitching, he'll take a seat against Roansy Contreras after having returned from the injured list Saturday. Marsh, who went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 6-0 win, will give way in center field to Matt Vierling in the series finale.
Aug 27 2022Marsh (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh appeared in two rehab games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and went 3-for-7 with three runs, three RBI, two stolen bases, a walk and a strikeout. He'll rejoin the Phillies after spending the minimum of 10 days on the shelf and should serve as Philadelphia's primary center fielder now that he's back to full health.
Aug 25 2022Marsh (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will serve as the designated hitter Thursday and will play the outfield Friday, and he'll have a chance to rejoin the Phillies on Saturday after a minimal IL stint. Once the 24-year-old is reinstated, he should reclaim his role as Philadelphia's primary center fielder.
Aug 18 2022Marsh (ankle/knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Aug. 17. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh suffered a left knee bruise and a left ankle sprain after making a leaping catch attempt at the wall Tuesday, and he'll now be out for at least the next week and a half. Bradley Zimmer was claimed off waivers by the Phillies and will provide another option in center field.
Aug 17 2022Marsh was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee and a sprained left ankle after undergoing an MRI following his departure from Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies provided the update on the extent of Marsh's injury after he sat out the team's 1-0 loss to the Reds in Wednesday's series finale. Though Philadelphia is off Thursday before returning to action Friday against the Mets, the extra day may not provide enough time for Marsh to overcome both injuries. For now, the Phillies appear to be viewing Marsh as day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list seems to be very much in play for the 24-year-old. His potential absence would open up more work in the outfield for Matt Vierling and/or Nick Maton.
Aug 16 2022Marsh (leg) was diagnosed with a bone bruise after leaving Tuesday's win over the Reds and is awaiting the results of an MRI, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The preliminary diagnosis indicates Marsh may have avoided a serious injury, but the MRI results should provide more clarity to the situation. Marsh suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly after attempting to rob a home run at the wall, and he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
Aug 11 2022Marsh will sit Thursday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will get a day off after he went 1-for-6 with an RBI in the first two games of the series. Matt Vierling will start in center field and bat ninth versus Miami.
Aug 6 2022Marsh will be on the bench Saturday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Interim manager Rob Thomson indicated that Marsh would serve as the Phillies' everyday center fielder after he was acquired for catcher prospect Logan O'Hoppe at the deadline. While that may still be the case, his absence here against lefty Patrick Corbin indicates that a platoon could be in play. Matt Vierling will be the center fielder Saturday.
Aug 3 2022Marsh won't be available for Wednesday's game in Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just as interim manager Rob Thomson suggested would be the case Tuesday shortly after Marsh was acquired from the Angels, the 24-year-old outfielder won't be asked to make the trip to Atlanta with Wednesday's series finale beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET. Instead, Marsh will fly to Philadelphia and is expected to make his team debut in Thursday's series opener with the Nationals. Thomson said that Marsh will settle in as the Phillies' everyday center fielder, which should result in Matt Vierling moving into a bench role.
Aug 2 2022Interim manager Rob Thomson said Marsh will serve as the team's everyday center fielder when he likely joins the Phillies ahead of Thursday's series opener versus Washington, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Thomson's comments came shortly after the Phillies announced that they acquired Marsh from the Angels in exchange for catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe. With Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET, the Phillies plan to have Marsh get settled in Philadelphia first rather than joining the team on the road. Marsh has endured a tough second season in the majors (.226/.284/.353), but the Phillies are optimistic that the change of scenery can help him unlock his full potential. Even though he's been billed as an everyday center fielder, the lefty-hitting Marsh could still cede starts to the righty-hitting Matt Vierling when the Phillies oppose left-handed pitchers.
Jul 28 2022Marsh went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old flashed his speed, stealing his eighth base of the year in the fifth inning before leading off the seventh with a three-bagger. Marsh has struggled for the most part in July, slashing .185/.254/.352 with a 44.1 percent strikeout rate through 19 games, but with Mike Trout (back) on the shelf and the Angels likely to be sellers at the trade deadline, his spot in the starting lineup seems secure.
Jul 26 2022Marsh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the last nine games the Angels played, but he will get a mental break after going just 5-for-27 (.185) over that span. Magneuris Sierra will take Marsh's place in the Angels' outfield.
Jul 16 2022Marsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second straight game, Marsh was the only thing standing between the Dodgers and a shutout win. The 24-year-old accounted for both of the Angels' runs against the local rivals during this weekend's two-game set. Marsh is up to nine homers, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .225/.278/.352 slash line through 294 plate appearances. Assuming Mike Trout (back) is good to go after the All-Star break, Marsh could see his role reduced to the strong side of a platoon in left field.
Jul 15 2022Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh allowed the Angels to avoid a shutout, taking Dodgers reliever Reyes Moronta deep in the ninth inning. Marsh's homer was the Angels' second hit of the game after Clayton Kershaw allowed only one hit in eight innings. Through 12 contests in July, Marsh has gone 6-for-35 (.171), so he could be at risk of losing playing time to Jo Adell once Mike Trout (back) is ready to rejoin the starting nine. For the season, Marsh is slashing .224/.279/.342 with seven long balls, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 82 games.
Jul 12 2022Marsh went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh accounted for one of the Angels' two hits in the contest. He was also hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to help spark a four-run rally. The outfielder has hit safely in three of his last four games and added three stolen bases in that span. He's up to a .225/.279/.336 slash line with six home runs, seven steals, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple through 278 plate appearances. If Mike Trout (back) misses time, Marsh's playing time should be noticeably more steady, as he or Monte Harrison would likely move to center field to fill the gap in the lineup.
Jul 10 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh typically bows out of the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Sunday even with right-hander Austin Voth on the mound for Baltimore. Marsh will cede his spot in the outfield to Monte Harrison after the former went 2-for-10 with two stolen bases while striking out five times in the first three games of the series in Baltimore.
Jul 8 2022Marsh went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to Baltimore on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels were limited to six hits in the contest, and Marsh notched one of those with a second-inning single. He subsequently stole second base and advanced to third on an error, but the following two batters were retired without getting him home. Marsh has had a rough July, going 2-for-16 with four strikeouts and no walks through six contests.
Jul 6 2022Marsh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has started exclusively against right-handed pitchers over the last week, and he'll get a day off with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the mound for the Marlins on Wednesday. Monte Harrison is starting in left field and batting ninth.
Jul 3 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Framber Valdez taking the hill for Houston in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Marsh will bow out of the lineup. Platoon mate Monte Harrison replaces Marsh in the Los Angeles outfield.
Jun 29 2022Marsh (knee) is starting in left field and batting seventh Wednesday against the White Sox, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh exited Tuesday's contest with a bruised right knee, though it's apparently a minor issue since he's back in the lineup a day later. The 24-year-old went 3-for-4 during Monday's matchup with the White Sox, but he's otherwise hitless across his past seven games.
Jun 28 2022Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox due to a right knee bruise. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced in the field for the top of the sixth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and the 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
Jun 26 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Marco Gonzales on the hill for Seattle, Angels interim manager Phil Nevin viewed Sunday as an ideal time to give the lefty-hitting Marsh a day off after six consecutive starts, during which the 24-year-old went 1-for-19 with eight strikeouts. The righty-hitting Monte Harrison will step in as a replacement in the lineup for Marsh in what marks the former's first start with the Angels.
Jun 19 2022Marsh went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh singled and stole second in the seventh inning. This was his first steal since April 28 and his fourth theft of the year. The 24-year-old outfielder has maintained an uninspiring .246/.300/.369 slash line with six home runs, 30 RBI, 25 runs scored and seven doubles through 224 plate appearances. He should continue to play regularly versus right-handed pitchers as the Angels' primary left fielder while Juan Lugares handles the short side of the platoon.
Jun 18 2022Marsh is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's nightcap against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh went 2-for-3 with a run, a double, a walk and a strikeout in the day game. Juan Lagares will start in left field and bat eighth in anticipation of a lefty working as the primary pitcher for Seattle.
Jun 15 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the past four games and went 5-for-13 with two homers, a double, three walks, three RBI and five runs during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday with southpaw Tyler Anderson pitching for the Dodgers. Juan Lagares will take over in left field for the Halos.
Jun 11 2022Marsh went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was the only Angel to have any real success against New York pitching, as aside from Marsh's pair of homers, the other seven Los Angeles hits on the night all went for singles. The 24-year-old snapped a 27-game homer drought with the performance, and on the season Marsh is slashing .256/.302/.386 with six long balls, three steals, 21 runs and 30 RBI through 52 contests.
Jun 9 2022Marsh is not in the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the past seven games and will take a seat Thursday after going 2-for-26 with eight strikeouts during that stretch. Dillon Thomas, Juan Lagares and Jo Adell will start from left to right in the outfield.
Jun 2 2022Marsh is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Wednesday's contest got postponed, Marsh will still remain out of the lineup as the Angels take on lefty Nestor Cortes in Game 1 on Thursday. Juan Lagares will start in left field and bat eighth in the contest.
Jun 1 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Marsh will sit for the second time in as many days while the Yankees bring another southpaw (Nestor Cortes) to the hill. Manager Joe Maddon acknowledged Tuesday that Marsh was dealing with some leg tightness, but the skipper relayed that the 24-year-old's absence from the lineup is for matchup-related reasons, according to Bollinger. The righty-hitting Lagares will replace Marsh in left field Wednesday, and the two could continue to work in a platoon for however long Lagares sticks on the active roster as the Angels' fourth outfielder.
May 31 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the bump for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Marsh will give way in left field to the righty-hitting Juan Lagares. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench Tuesday, Marsh will close May with a .270/.313/.360 slash line to go with two home runs, zero stolen bases, 11 RBI and 11 runs in 25 games.
May 25 2022Marsh went 3-for-4 with a run in a 5-3 victory versus the Rangers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh knocked three singles in the contest, and he came around to score the Angels' third run in the fourth inning. This was Marsh's third three-hit game of the campaign. He's hitting a solid .282/.338./.411 with four homers, 24 RBI and three steals on the season.
May 18 2022Marsh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Arianna Vedia of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has recorded hits in each of his last eight games, and he hit .364 with a double, six runs and four RBI during that time. Tyler Wade will take his place in left field while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.
May 14 2022Marsh is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He went 3-for-4 with a run and a walk in the day game and is now hitting .286/.342/.439 on the year. Tyler Wade will get the start in left field while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.
May 8 2022Marsh went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 7-3 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh brought the Angels to within one run of the lead with his fourth inning two-run shot and later tacked on a walk in the fifth. The 24-year-old had been slumping, going 2-for-25, prior to Saturday's effort and is now slashing .253/.318/.453 with four home runs and 18 RBI on the season.
May 5 2022Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Thursday's 8-0 win over the Red Sox. He struck out twice. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh came into the game hitless over his last five contests, but he bounced back by registering his fifth multi-hit game and his third home run of the season. Over the first 22 games of 2022, Marsh is batting .265 with 16 RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases.
May 3 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Marsh hits from the left side, Angels manager Joe Maddon cited Boston right-hander Michael Wacha's reverse splits as the reason why the 24-year-old is on the bench Tuesday, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Jack Mayfield will pick up the start in left field after Marsh's previous platoon mate at the position, Jo Adell, was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
May 1 2022Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Dallas Keuchel on the bump for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Marsh will head to the bench. Short-side platoon mate Jo Adell will replace Marsh in left field.
Apr 26 2022Marsh (illness) is back in action as expected Tuesday against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh is ready to go after missing the last two games with an illness. He'll bat sixth and play left field Tuesday and will look to build on a strong start at the plate which has seen him hit .306/.400/.556 with two homers and a steal.
Apr 25 2022Marsh (illness) is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been held out the last two days due to an illness, but he should be ready to go Tuesday. He's 5-for-18 with a homer, seven RBI and a stolen bag over his last seven games.
Apr 24 2022Marsh was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Orioles due to a case of the stomach flu, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Provided the illness isn't anything more than a day-to-day concern, the lefty-hitting Marsh looks poised to handle a strong-side platoon role in left field moving forward following the recent return of Taylor Ward from the injured list along with Mike Trout's recent comeback from a three-game absence due to a hand issue. Platoon mate Jo Adell will end up drawing the start in left field Sunday while Marsh looks to move past the stomach bug.
Apr 22 2022Marsh will sit Friday against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh will hit the bench against lefty Bruce Zimmermann. He's started against three of the six southpaws the Angels have faced this season. Mike Trout returns from a hand injury to start in center field, while Jo Adell starts in left.
Apr 21 2022Marsh went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old outfielder continues to make a case for a regular spot in the lineup, despite manager Joe Maddon's indication early this season he might have to platoon with Jo Adell when everyone was healthy. Through 11 games, Marsh is slashing .323/.425/.516 with a homer, six runs scored and 11 RBI, and the only real blemish on his line is a 1-for-3 performance on stolen base attempts.
Apr 17 2022Marsh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has an .861 OPS with one home run and seven RBI through seven games this season but will take a seat with lefty Martin Perez pitching for Texas. Jo Adell and Taylor Ward will start in the corner outfield Sunday for the Angels.
Apr 11 2022Marsh went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, double, walk and an additional run and RBI in a 6-2 win against Miami on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh got Los Angeles on the board early with a three-run home run in the first inning, walk in the second and RBI double in the eighth. The young outfielder has now hit safely in three of four games and is slashing .400/.571/.800 through 10 at-bats in the early going.
Apr 10 2022Marsh is not in Sunday's starting lineup against Houston, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has started each of the team's first three games, but he will give way to Jo Adell on Sunday. Marsh may be the favorite for the most playing time between the trio of he, Jose Rojas and Adell, though there appears to be a timeshare at the corner outfield positions to begin the season in Los Angeles.
Apr 8 2022Angels manager Joe Maddon explained Thursday that, prior to his groin injury, Taylor Ward was scheduled to be the team's everyday right fielder while Marsh and Jo Adell were expected to platoon in left, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Maddon had previous indicated that each of Marsh, Adell and Ward were targeted for 450 to 500 at-bats this season, it appears that Ward was the only one who would be taking on a true everyday role under the original arrangement. The groin injury he suffered two days before Opening Day foiled that plan to kick off the campaign, but it's possible that the scenario could still play out following Ward's return. Of note, both Adell and Marsh started in corner outfield spots Thursday, but Adell took a seat Friday while Marsh started in left and Jose Rojas started in right. Either Marsh or Adell could earn a stranglehold on playing time with a strong start to the campaign, but neither has done well through two contests. Marsh is 1-for-6 while Adell has struck out in all five of his plate appearances.
Apr 3 2022Angels managers Joe Maddon said Saturday that he wants to get each of Marsh, Jo Adell and Taylor Ward 450 to 500 at-bats this season, Scott Bordow of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The playing-time outlook for all three players widened with the organization's decision to DFA Justin Upton, and Marsh has essentially clinched what was already expected to be a starting role in left field. Upton's presence would have undoubtedly eaten into Marsh's at-bats, so the move to part ways with the veteran certainly helps the 24-year-old's fantasy outlook. His ability to play all three outfield spots is also a positive, though he figures to yield time to Ward on occasion.
Oct 3 2021Angels manager Joe Maddon said Marsh is dealing with unspecified soreness after he stepped awkwardly on first base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The report explains why Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday. The Angels will presumably look to stay away from Marsh in the season finale, and if so, he'll close his rookie campaign with a .255/.318/.357 slash line, two home runs and six stolen bases across 259 plate appearances.
Oct 2 2021Marsh went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh recently had a seven-game hitting streak in late September and was the main reason why the Angels escaped with the win here, as his two-run double in the top of the third was enough to seal the win for the Angels. The outfielder is hitting just .260 on the year, but that figure decreases to a mere .242 when factoring his 26 games (95 at-bats) from September onward, a span in which he's also struck out in 30.8 percent of his trips to the plate.
Sep 29 2021Marsh isn't starting Wednesday's game against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh snapped a seven-game hitting streak Tuesday when he went 0-for-4 in the series opener against Texas, and he'll get a day off Wednesday. Taylor Ward will start in center field and bat sixth.
Sep 25 2021Marsh went 2-for-4 with four runs scored, an RBI, a walk, a HBP and two strikeouts in a 14-1 triumph over the Mariners on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh singled and scored in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to six games. The 23-year-old has gone 8-for-25 during that stretch, though his performance in September has been a bit of a disappointment following a hot August.
Sep 21 2021Marsh is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the past 10 games and will take a seat after posting a .668 OPS and 27.9 strikeout rate during that stretch. Juan Lagares will start in center field Tuesday.
Sep 18 2021For the third straight game, Marsh is playing center field and leading off for the Angels on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie went 1-for-9 batting leadoff the last two days, but the team is sticking with him atop of the order. David Fletcher, who had been leading off prior to Marsh taking over the role, has hit second in each of the past three games.
Sep 15 2021Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh popped his second home run of the season in the eighth inning to provide the game-winning run for the Angels. It was his first home run since Aug. 25 and only his second multi-hit effort across 11 starts in September. Overall, Marsh has a mediocre .267/.328/.386 line across 192 plate appearances. However, he has a 39 percent strikeout rate and his batting average is being propped up by a .455 BABIP.
Sep 9 2021Marsh went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run Wednesday in the Angels' 8-5 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he delivered one of only two extra-base hits on the night against Padres ace Yu Darvish, Marsh has still been trending down to begin September. Through seven games on the month, Marsh has gone 3-for-22 with no walks and a 45.5 percent strikeout rate. With time running out for Mike Trout (calf) to make it back from the 60-day injured list, Marsh looks secure as the Angels' everyday center fielder, but the rookie's recent downturn could make him a cut candidate outside of AL-only leagues and deeper mixed leagues.
Sep 4 2021Marsh will not start Saturday's game against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has hit .375/.408/.542 over his last 20 games, though that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate, a number which suggests his hot streak isn't particularly sustainable. The strong run may have already come to an end, as he's gone just 1-for-10 with six strikeouts over his last three contests. Juan Lagares will take over for him in center field.
Aug 29 2021Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double, run and strikeout in a 10-2 win over the Padres on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh singled and scored in the third, doubled in the fourth and singled in the sixth to record his third three-hit game in his last five. The hot stretch features an 11-for-19 showing at the plate and has elevated the rookie's average from .227 to .279.
Aug 25 2021Marsh went 3-for-5, including his first big-league home run, and drove in five runs Wednesday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh launched his first career homer in the fourth inning, taking Baltimore reliever Marcos Diplan deep for a three-run shot to give the Angels a 6-2 lead. The 23-year-old Marsh, who has racked up seven hits, seven RBI and 10 total bases over his last two games alone, is slashing .308/.372/.449 in 24 contests during the month of August.
Aug 24 2021Marsh went 4-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh came into Tuesday's contest following a 1-for-8 drought and more than made up for it with his first four-hit game at the major-league level. The 23-year-old, now batting .250/.326/.345 across 36 games, is still in search of his first long ball.
Aug 20 2021Marsh went 3-for-5 with a pair of triples, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Thursday's win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh came into Thursday's contest without any triples on the season but changed that in a major way by cranking out two. The 23-year-old has fought for playing time this season, batting just .235/.316/.333 across 32 games, but has started the last nine contests, collecting two doubles and two triples in that span.
Aug 10 2021Marsh is not starting the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has hit .100 with one extra-base hit and zero RBI in his last 10 games, striking out in 15 of his 30 at-bats. Juan Lagares will start in center field and bat eighth in Game 1.
Aug 6 2021Marsh isn't starting Friday's game against the Dodgers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has gone 1-for-13 with a double, two runs, a walk and six strikeouts across his last four appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Juan Lagares will start in center field and bat seventh.
Aug 4 2021Marsh is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the last six games and will receive a day off after going 2-for-20 with a double, two runs and 10 strikeouts during that stretch. Juan Lagares will take over in center field for the Halos.
Jul 28 2021Marsh is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started the past nine games after being promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake on July 18, but he'll receive the day off Wednesday. The 23-year-old is 7-for-32 with three doubles, four walks, two RBI, three runs and 10 strikeouts to begin his major-league career. Juan Lagares will start in center field in his place.
Jul 21 2021Marsh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie was one of three Angels to reach base more than once in the contest, and he notched his first stolen base as a major-leaguer following a sixth-inning walk. Marsh collected double-digit steals each year in the minors between 2017 and 2019, so he can certainly be an asset in that department for fantasy managers. Through three games with the Angels, he has gone 4-for-11.
Jul 20 2021Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh had a great performance in what was otherwise a disappointing outing for the Angels. He logged his first major-league hit on a single to center to begin the second and later drove in his first run on a double to left in the ninth. Though he had a hitless debut Sunday, the 23-year-old certainly created some buzz Monday, and he should continue getting opportunities to showcase what he's got until Mike Trout (calf) is ready to return.
Jul 19 2021Marsh went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts Sunday against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh started in center field and batted seventh in his first game as a major-leaguer. Despite the rough debut, he figures to see regular playing time in center field, at least until Mike Trout (calf) is able to return.
Jul 18 2021Angels manager Joe Maddon said that Marsh has been called up from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. Marsh will start in center field in the series finale. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old, who is regarded as one of the top prospects in the system, earned his first big-league call-up after slashing .255/.364/.468 with three home runs and two stolen bases across 110 plate appearances this season at Salt Lake. Marsh hasn't demonstrated the ability to consistently generate power from his 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, but the toolsy outfielder well-rounded skill set should make him an appealing pickup in mixed leagues where available. He's likely to receive an extended trial as the Angels' everyday center fielder, given the limited production that journeyman Juan Lagares (.606 OPS on the season) has provided while Mike Trout (calf) has been on the 60-day injured list.
Jul 9 2021Marsh (shoulder) has been activated from the injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake, Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh hit the injured list in early June with right shoulder inflammation. The Halos' top prospect played in four games for the rookie-level ACL Angels in a rehab assignment, and he is now set to resume his Triple-A campaign. Marsh is currently slashing .183/.338/.317 through 74 plate appearances at Salt Lake, so he'll likely need to see an improvement at the plate in order to gain serious consideration for a big-league callup.
Jul 4 2021Marsh (shoulder) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a start for the rookie-level ACL Angels on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh returned to action for the Arizona Complex League squad after missing over a month with shoulder inflammation. He had slashed .183/.338/.317 with one homer and one stolen base across 74 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to the injury and will likely head back to that level after his rehab stint is complete.
Jun 7 2021Marsh landed on the injured list for Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday due to right shoulder inflammation, though the issue isn't considered serious, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: At-bats are available in the Angels' outfielder with Mike Trout (calf) expected to be out past the All-Star break, but the team has so far turned to the likes of Juan Lagares and Taylor Ward rather than giving opportunities to Marsh or fellow prospect Jo Adell. Marsh wasn't exactly making a strong case for promotion even before his injury, however, hitting just .183/.338/.317 in 16 Triple-A games. It's not clear exactly how long the shoulder issue will keep him out for, but he'd likely need several weeks of much stronger numbers if he's to earn a call-up.
May 19 2021The Angels have no immediate plans to call up Marsh or Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake after Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a calf strain that will likely keep him sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh, the Angels' top prospect, is off to a hot start through six games at Triple-A, slashing .273/.448/.545 while drawing seven walks against nine strikeouts in 29 plate appearances. Though Marsh and Adell would represent the highest-upside options in the organization that could help fill in for Trout, the Angels are apparently content to proceed with Taylor Ward and Juan Lagares as their main center fielders for the time being. In Marsh's case, the Angels may want to see him find more sustained success at the Triple-A level after he missed out on some development time due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season, then battled a labrum injury during spring training. The 23-year-old still appears likely to make his MLB debut at some point in 2021, if health prevails.
May 14 2021Marsh was added to the roster of the Angels' Triple-A affiliate Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was held out of the start of the minor-league season while continuing to recover from a shoulder injury, but he was deemed healthy enough to play center field and bat leadoff for Salt Lake on Thursday. The outfield prospect wasted little time showing off his big bat, smashing a solo home run in his second plate appearance. Marsh is likely to get his first call-up to the big leagues this season, and that could happen relatively soon if he gets off to a hot start with Salt Lake.
May 3 2021Marsh isn't expected to make his 2021 debut for Triple-A Salt Lake while he continues to rehab a shoulder injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old saw action for the Angels as a designated hitter in spring training, but he wasn't cleared for outfield duty in Cactus League games while he ramped up from a labrum injury. Since spring training concluded, Marsh has remained in Arizona to continue his throwing program, and he appears to be nearing full clearance. One of the Angels' top position prospects, Marsh could make his MLB debut at some point in 2021 if he proves at Triple-A that his shoulder issue isn't a lingering concern.
Mar 27 2021Marsh (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has dealt with a shoulder injury over the past several days, but he'll be back in the Cactus League lineup Saturday. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy and should begin the season at the Triple-A level.
Mar 21 2021Marsh (shoulder) is starting at first base and batting second in Sunday's "B" game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was previously expected to play center field in Sunday's game, but he'll instead start at first base. Marsh could still shift to the outfield during the contest. He has yet to play the field in Cactus League action this spring while recovering from an offseason labrum injury, but his appearance in the "B" game is a good sign for his progression. Marsh was optioned to the minors last week and is poised to open the season at the Triple-A level.
Mar 20 2021Marsh (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet Friday and has no limitations, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has yet to play in the outfield this spring as he continues to recover from a labrum injury suffered last season. He recently stated that he has been set back after tweaking his shoulder but doesn't consider the issue to be serious, per Blake Harris of SB Nation. Marsh has already been optioned to the minors and won't break camp with the Angels. He is scheduled to play center field in a B-game on Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Mar 16 2021Marsh (arm) was optioned to the minors Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh was always expected to open the season at the Triple-A level, and with an arm issue slowing him down throughout camp, he hasn't really had the chance to make an unlikely charge toward a roster spot. He should be a candidate for a midseason call-up if he looks good in the minors to start the year.
Mar 11 2021Marsh (arm) has been playing catch out to 90 feet, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels' top prospect was listed as an available reserve for Wednesday's game, but it sounds like he would be limited to DH duties at the moment. He was unlikely to make the Opening Day roster in any case, but once he's fully healthy, he could push for a first-half promotion.
Mar 10 2021Marsh (arm) is listed among the Angels' available reserve players for Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Indians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh may not be ready to play the outfield while he works his way through a throwing program, but he should be an option to replace starting designated hitter Max Stassi at some point during Wednesday's game. The 23-year-old is expected to open the 2021 season at Triple-A Salt Lake after slashing .300/.383/.428 over 412 plate appearances at Double-A Mobile in his last minor-league season in 2019.
Mar 5 2021Marsh (arm) is getting closer to seeing time in the outfield, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh has been limited to DH duties thus far in spring due to what has been described as a minor arm issue. He has collected one hit -- a triple -- in three Cactus League at-bats and appears just about ready to get some reps in the outfield.
Mar 2 2021Marsh has been limited to DH thus far in spring training due to a minor issue with his arm, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon described Marsh as having a "little bit of an issue with his arm," though he did not specify the nature or severity of the issue. Marsh struck out as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest, so the problem does not appear to be affecting his ability to swing the bat. Marsh is likely to begin 2021 at the Triple-A level but could make his big-league debut by season's end.
Nov 20 2020Marsh's contract was purchased by the Angels on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As the team's top prospect with Jo Adell no longer prospect eligible, Marsh was a lock to be protected from the Rule 5 draft. He is an outfielder by trade but started working a little at first base at the alternate training site in order to give himself more avenues to break through with the big club. Marsh figures to debut sometime during the 2021 season.
Sep 12 2020Marsh may not make his major-league debut in 2020 due to the Angels' current outfield depth, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Angels clinging to fading hopes of a playoff spot, their outlook on calling up prospects over the final few weeks of the season could change depending on their place in the standings. As it stands, they have a fairly set outfield with Mike Trout, Jo Adell and the resurgent Justin Upton playing on a near-everyday basis. Marsh has been getting reps at first base at the team's alternate training site, though the fact that he has yet to play an intrasquad game at that position suggests that he is far from ready to do so at the major-league level.
Aug 7 2020Marsh has been getting reps at first base at the Angels' alternate training site in Long Beach, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's doubtful that the Angels are considering converting Marsh to the infield given his above-average defensive skills in the outfield, but becoming comfortable at first base could accelerate the 22-year-old's ascension to the majors considering the team's lack of depth at the position. While the big-league outfield includes Mike Trout, Jo Adell and a current platoon of Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin, the team does not have a true first-base option on the active roster to back up the aging Albert Pujols. Marsh isn't far from reaching the majors, and developing the ability to fill in at first could help him log more playing time once he gets there.
Jul 12 2018Marsh recorded four hits -- all singles -- in five at-bats for High-A Inland Empire in its 10-4 loss to Lake Elsinore on Wednesday.Marsh had been stuck in a 7-for-33 rut (.212 average) at the dish since the calendar flipped to June, but his aggressive approach at the plate paid dividends Wednesday. Though he's been limited to only 12 extra-base knocks over 209 plate appearances this season, Marsh's 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame offers hope that he'll increase his power output as he develops. The 20-year-old already looks like a plus baserunner at this point in his career, as he owns a 22-for-26 success rate on stolen-base attempts over parts of two seasons in the pro ranks.
Jun 25 2018Marsh (finger) appeared in games Saturday and Sunday for High-A Inland Empire, going 2-for-8 with a home run, two walks and five RBI in those contests.Marsh jammed his finger on a slide during a game Thursday, but he rejoined the Inland Empire lineup two days later, suggesting the injury isn't a concern. The 20-year-old outfielder is slashing .218/.321/.328 with seven stolen bases across 137 plate appearances since being promoted to the California League earlier this season.
Jun 22 2018Marsh (finger) was removed from Thursday's game with High-A Inland Empire after jamming his finger on a slide, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Marsh injured his thumb and missed a month last year in a similar scenario, but it is unclear whether the injury was to the same digit. No report of the severity of the ailment or a potential layoff was announced. The outfield prospect has struggled since his promotion to High-A, slashing .216/.315/.297 over 29 games.
