Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is starting in center field and is batting eighth in the lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Marco Gonzales and the Seattle Mariners. Marsh has earned everyday playing time in Philadelphia this year by being scorching-hot at the plate early on. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter is currently batting .364 (24-for-66) with six doubles, a league-leading four triples, four home runs, 13 RBI, a stolen base and 14 runs scored in 21 games played. Marsh has even been good against lefties, going 6-for-19 with four doubles, two home runs and six RBI in 21 plate appearances against them. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with him while he's this hot.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is starting in center field and is hitting fifth in the lineup again in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Lance Lynn. Marsh has earned a higher lineup spot with the Phillies against right-handed pitchers by hitting an impressive .378 (17-for-45) with five doubles, a league-leading three triples, two home runs, 10 RBI, a stolen base and 10 runs scored in his first 14 games of the season. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has now hit in the fifth spot in the batting order in four straight games, so this trend should continue as long as he continues to swing a hot bat. Fantasy managers will want to keep him in their starting lineups until he cools off.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh will return to the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Miami Marlins. Marsh got a breather Tuesday night when left-hander Jesus Luzardo toed the rubber for Miami but returns to take on right-hander Edward Cabrera on Wednesday. Marsh has been scorching-hot to begin the young season as he's hitting a robust .407 with two homers, four doubles, two triples, one stolen base, and a 1.393 OPS across 30 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is hitting the ball hard but also owns a .474 BABIP that will decline steadily as the season moves along.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Recent trade acquisition Cristian Pache will get the start in Marsh's stead, hitting ninth against the emerging Marlins southpaw. The lefty-swinging Marsh will likely sit against tough left-handers throughout the season but is off to a white-hot start, hitting .385 with two homers, four doubles, two triples, one stolen base, and an eye-popping 1.352 OPS in 28 trips to the plate. While solid, his Statcast metrics aren't nearly as mind-blowing as his electric start to the season so exercising caution would be the prudent move moving forward.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds. Marsh is starting in center field and hitting ninth in the batting order. The 25-year-old was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday and didn't have to miss a game at all after Thursday's contest was postponed due to inclement weather. There isn't a ton of fantasy upside, especially in DFS, with Marsh hitting at the bottom of Philly's lineup. The left-handed hitter has gone 5-for-15 (.333) with two doubles, a triple, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in the early going, though, in his first four games of 2023.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (ankle) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup due to a mild left ankle sprain, according to the team. He's being considered day-to-day. Cristian Pache will make the start in center field and hit ninth in Marsh's place against the New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole. Marsh's injury doesn't sound serious, so he should be back in the team's lineup this weekend. The 25-year-old has gone 5-for-15 (.333) with two doubles, a triple, home run, two RBI and three runs scored in the first four games of 2023. Pache, who has struggled mightily at the plate early in his career, should be avoided against one of baseball's best strikeout artists on Wednesday.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (finger) is back in the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Joey Wentz. Marsh is manning center field and batting ninth in the order. The 25-year-old missed Wednesday's spring game due to a broken blood vessel in his left middle finger, but the injury obviously isn't very serious at all. He is looking to get things going at the plate before Opening Day, as he's gone just 8-for-37 (.216) with two doubles, one homer, five RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base in 14 Grapefruit League games for the Phils. Marsh still strikes out way too much and won't be an everyday player, but with speed in the strong side of a platoon in center field in Philly, he'll be useful in deep-mixed leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh slotted into the ninth spot in the lineup for Tuesday night's World Series Game 3, and he was excellent, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a single, and two runs scored. Marsh has seven hits in his 24 postseason at-bats, with two home runs, five runs scored, and five RBI. He took a seat on the bench in Game 2 with the lefty Framber Valdez on the mound, but he figures to be the starter in center field against any other Astros starting pitcher.

Philadelphia Phillies rookie shortstop Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh are back in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the World Series on Monday against the Houston Astros and right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. Stott and Marsh have been sitting this postseason against lefties, but they'll be back in there on Monday. Stott is hitting seventh, while Marsh will bat ninth for Philly. Stott, a former first-rounder, has been a a scrappy hitter for the Phils near the bottom of the order this postseason. He's hitless in four at-bats so far in the World Series, although he does have three walks. In 12 postseason games, he's gone 6-for-34 (.177) with three RBI, three runs scored and six walks. Marsh is 5-for-31 (.161) with a homer, four RBI and three runs in 12 playoff games.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, batting ninth and manning center field. Marsh and Matt Vierling have formed a platoon this postseason, with Marsh handling duties against righties. He hasn't exactly shined this postseason, with a slash line of .154/.214/.346, although he did hit a clutch three-run homer in the clinching game of the NLDS against Atlanta. With Marsh starting, Vierling will begin the game on the bench. He has been used as both a pinch-hitter and a defensive replacement this postseason, though, so there's a good chance he gets into the game at some point.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh will slot back into the Phillies lineup for Game 3 of the NLCS against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Marsh has formed a platoon with Matt Vierling this postseason, with Marsh handling right-handed pitching. He's done the job adequately out of the nine spot, batting .250 with an .896 OPS, including a homer and four RBI. On top of his decent hitting, his stellar defense has been vital to a Phillies lineup that doesn't do much in terms of taking base hits away. He should continue as the strong side of this platoon through the playoffs.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said the team will go back to rookie shortstop Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh in the starting lineup on Friday in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Joe Musgrove. Outfielder Matt Vierling and infielder Edmundo Sosa got the starts in Game 2 with lefty Blake Snell on the mound, but they'll head back to the bench for Game 3 on Friday in Philadelphia. In the Game 1 win, Stott hit seventh in the batting order, while Marsh rounded out the lineup in the nine-hole in the 2-0 shutout win. Stott and Marsh went a combined 0-for-6 in Game 1.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is starting in center field and is batting seventh in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Kyle Wright. Marsh was on the bench in the 7-6 Game 1 win on Tuesday with the Braves throwing left-hander Max Fried. He came off the bench in Game 1 as a defensive replacement but didn't have a plate appearance. In his first two career playoff games in the Wild-Card Series win over the St. Louis Cardinals last weekend, Marsh went 2-for-5 with a double, RBI and two strikeouts in six plate appearances.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is in the lineup Saturday for game two against the St. Louis Cardinals, playing center field and batting seventh. Marsh sat game one against lefty Jose Quintana, but will draw in tonight against righty Miles Mikolas. Matt Vierling will take a seat in what will likely be a platoon for the Phillies. Marsh has a .735 OPS against righties and just a .486 OPS against lefties, so the move makes all the sense in the world for the Phils. Along with Marsh slotting in, Jean Segura and Bryson Stott will both move down a spot in the lineup, but otherwise the Phillies lineup remains the same.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is back in center field and is batting sixth on Friday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Jake Odorizzi. Marsh suffered a bruised left knee while attempting to make a catch at the wall on Tuesday, but he's back in the lineup to begin a weekend series against Atlanta. In 29 games with the Phillies since being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels, Marsh is hitting .281/.304/.438 with two home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base. He's been much better against right-handed pitching, too, going 73-for-286 (.255) with eight of his 10 home runs against them in 2022.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. It shouldn't come as a big surprise after Marsh bruised his left knee attempting to make a catch at the wall on Wednesday. The Phillies are also facing tough left-hander Max Fried in Thursday's tilt, so it makes too much sense to rest Marsh for at least one more day. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Matt Vierling will get the start in center field on Thursday and is hitting seventh against Fried. Vierling has been better against southpaws this year, batting .281 (32-for-114) with two of his five home runs against them in 125 plate appearances.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee. Marsh injured his knee attempting to make a catch at the wall in Tuesday's game and is day-to-day for now. The good news is that he was able to test his knee by running and taking batting practice before the game on Wednesday. Matt Vierling will get the starting nod in center field on Wednesday and will hit ninth in the batting order against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Vierling won't be very attractive for DFS lineups in the nine-hole for Philly, and he's also hitting just .227 (10-for-44) with no homers, four RBI, five runs scored and six strikeouts in 14 games this month.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) left Tuesday's game early against the Toronto Blue Jays with "left knee discomfort," and he'll be evaluated further. Marsh went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in the contest before being replaced by Dalton Guthrie in right field. Matt Vierling shifted from right field to center field. It's now the second time this year that Marsh has injured his knee while jumping into the outfield wall, with the first occurrence sending him to the injured list. For now, consider him day-to-day. If the 24-year-old is forced to the IL again, it could be the end of his year unless the Phillies make the playoffs. Marsh entered the game hitting .284 (25-for-88) with two homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals in 28 games for the Phils after being acquired from the Angels at the trade deadline.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee, ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 24-year-old outfielder has been out since August 18 after suffering knee and ankle injuries while attempting to rob a home run. He's slashing an underwhelming .250/.294/.313 with a pair of RBI and a stolen base in 12 games with the Phillies since coming over at the trade deadline from the Angels. He'll provide Philadelphia with a defensive boost in center field down the stretch. Bradley Zimmer was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh went 3-for-4 with three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in his minor league rehab game on Friday night for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, playing in center field and hitting leadoff. Marsh suffered a bone bruise in his left knee and a left ankle sprain earlier this month, but he looks fine now and could rejoin the Phillies as early as Saturday. The 24-year-old should return to an everyday role in center field in Philadelphia once he's reinstated from the injured list, giving him value in deeper mixed fantasy leagues. In 12 games for the Phillies, he's gone 8-for-32 (.250) with no homers, two RBI and two runs scored. In his 93 games for the Los Angeles Angels before being traded, Marsh was slashing .226/.284/.353 with eight long balls, 37 RBI, 34 runs scored and eight stolen bases.
