Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Homers in nightcap
Rotowire
Marsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over Atlanta.
The homer was Marsh's first since Aug. 26 and his 11th of the season, leaving him one shy of his career high set last year. The 25-year-old outfielder had been struggling a bit coming into Monday's contest, going 2-for-12 (.167) in his previous four games. Still, Marsh is slashing a strong .286/.377/.464 with 53 RBI, 51 runs scored and nine steals through 423 plate appearances on the campaign. He should continue to see the majority of playing time in center field for the Phillies, with Cristian Pache occasionally drawing starts against left-handed pitching.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Back from injured list
Rotowire
Marsh (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.
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.
Marsh (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.
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.

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.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Shelved with bruised knee
Rotowire
The 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.
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.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Sits against southpaw
Rotowire
Marsh will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Nationals.
Marsh will hit the bench against lefty MacKenzie Gore, with Cristian 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.
