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.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Brandon Marsh (ankle) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left ankle sprain. In corresponding moves, the Phillies claimed outfielder Bradley Zimmer off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays and moved outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow, thumb) to the 60-day injured list. Marsh's injured list stint is retroactive to Aug. 17. The 24-year-old injured himself while leaping at the wall on Tuesday and will miss at least the next 10 days. He's gone 8-for-32 (.250) with no homers, two RBI and two runs scored in his first 12 games in Philly after being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels at the Aug. 2 trade deadline. Marsh isn't a must-stash in mixed fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) underwent an MRI on his knee. The results showed no structural damage, helping determine his knee injury to be a bone bruise. However, he is also dealing with a sprained ankle. According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, it's "very possible" a stint on the injured list is coming. Marsh injured his knee during Tuesday's game after attempting to rob home plate. The 24-year-old has appeared in 12 games with the Phillies since joining the team before the trade deadline. Over those 12 games, he's slashed .250/.294/.313 with two extra-base hits, both doubles.

The preliminary indication is that Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) suffered a bone bruise in Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, according to interim manager Rob Thomson. Marsh is going for an MRI exam and the team is awaiting the results. A bone bruise would be a best-case scenario for an injury that looked much worse when it initially occurred as Marsh was attempting to rob a home run hit by Reds second baseman Jonathan India. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 24-year-old to be day-to-day. Marsh was traded to the Phillies from the Los Angeles Angels at the Aug. 2 deadline and had gone 7-for-31 (.226) with no homers, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in his first 11 games for the Phils entering Tuesday's contest.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (leg) suffered a leg injury in Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds while trying to rob a home run in right center field. Marsh came down awkwardly on his left leg and looked to be in a lot of pain as trainers ran to his aid in the outfield. He eventually walked off the field under his own power, but we won't know the severity of his injury until the team releases more details. The 24-year-old had a hit in his only at-bat before departing, and he came into the game hitting .226/.283/.347 with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 36 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 323 at-bats with the Phils and Los Angeles Angels. Matt Vierling moved to center field to replace Marsh, while Nick Maton entered the game in left field.

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder Brandon Marsh from the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, according to sources. It's currently unknown what the Phillies sent to the Angels in return. Marsh was once a top prospect coming through the farm system for the Angels, but he's struggled to the tune of a .239/.299/.354 slash line with 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 61 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in two seasons in the big leagues in 163 games played. This year, he's gone 66-for-292 (.226) with eight homers, 37 RBI, 34 runs scored and eight stolen bases and a 36.2% strikeout rate in 93 games. The 24-year-old is a buy-low MLB player for the Phillies, and he should at least see the strong side of a platoon in center field in Philadelphia.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh and third baseman Tyler Wade are both out of the starting lineup in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Thursday. Both left-handed hitters will get a game to rest with Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes on the mound. Marsh is hitting .276/.329/.393 with four homers, 26 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases in 43 games this year, while Wade hasn't been as good, slashing .229/.288/.302 with one homer, seven RBI, 14 runs and five steals in 41 games. Juan Lagares is starting in left field and is hitting eighth, while Matt Duffy gets the start at third base and is batting cleanup against the Yanks. Duffy is obviously the more attractive DFS play. He doesn't have much power at all, but he has gone 19-for-65 (.292) in 24 games this year.
