Brandon Marsh Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (illness) is feeling better and is starting in left field and batting fifth on Wednesday against the division-rival New York Mets and right-hander Clay Holmes. Marsh will return to the fold at Citizens Bank Park after missing the last two games with an illness. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the 27-year-old left-handed hitter can pick up right where he left off at the plate after going 10-for-19 with four extra-base hits in five games in September. He has limited experience against Holmes, though, going hitless in just one career at-bat against him. Marsh has been much better against right-handers this year, going 81-for-268 (.302) with eight of his nine home runs against them and 28 RBI in 299 plate appearances. He's been afforded only 73 plate appearances against southpaws.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (illness) remains under the weather and is out of Tuesday's starting lineup at Citizens Bank Park against the division-rival New York Mets. Marsh will miss his second straight game due to illness after sitting out the series-opening win on Monday. Weston Wilson will make the start in right field for the Phils and will bat seventh versus Mets left-hander Sean Manaea. With a right-hander scheduled to be on the mound on Wednesday, Marsh should be back in action if he's feeling better. The right-handed-hitting Wilson will be a deep DFS sleeper with limited upside on Tuesday's slate. The 30-year-old is batting only .219 (16-for-73) in limited action for the Phillies this year and has four homers, 13 RBI, and 10 runs. He's hitless in four career at-bats against Manaea.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh collected four hits in five at-bats on Friday in a 9-1 win over the Rangers, which included a pair of doubles and a solo home run. It continued a stretch of hot hitting for the 27-year-old, who is 16-for-33 (.516) over the last 10 games in which he logged at least one at-bat, with six doubles and four home runs during that stretch. The left-handed slugger is on the strong side of a platoon, as he does most of his damage against right-handed pitching (.216/.293/.294 vs. LHP, .294/.357/.468 vs. RHP), so the counting stats aren't there in 2025, but the performance pushed his season batting average to .278 with seven home runs and five steals. Marsh is 1-for-3 against the Rangers' starter on Saturday, Jacob deGrom, but there are likely better DFS plays available despite Marsh's recent hot stretch.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (elbow) is starting in center field and is batting ninth for the Phillies in Friday's contest against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. Marsh hyperextended his left elbow in Tuesday's contest and missed Wednesday's game. The 27-year-old outfielder is feeling better after an off day on Thursday and will look to keep things going in the month of June. He has gone 7-for-17 with a double and a stolen base in nine games this month and is now hitting .241 (28-for-116) after a rough start to the beginning of the 2025 season. DFS managers should probably be looking to stay away from Marsh despite his strong June, though, while hitting out of the nine-hole. He has only faced Gausman twice in his career and doesn't have a hit.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (elbow) is out of the team's lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Chicago Cubs. Teammate Johan Rojas will work center field in his stead -- batting ninth. The 27-year-old exited Tuesday's contest in the sixth inning after hyperextending his elbow on a slide. Fortunately, the team believes he'll be available off the bench for Wednesday's rubber match, and it appears he has a chance to return to the field as early as this weekend. The lefty looked to be heating up before the injury, recording a hit in three straight appearances with back-to-back two-hit efforts. He was 5-for-7 over that stretch (.714) with an extra-base hit (double) and a steal.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (elbow) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Marsh appeared to injure his elbow after sliding into second base during the second inning. The good news is that he was not removed from the game until the sixth inning, suggesting that the injury may be minor. The Phillies will likely provide more clarity on the injury in the coming days. Johan Rojas entered the game for Marsh and would likely pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another few games. On the season, Marsh is slashing a modest .241/.341/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI, three stolen bases, and 15 runs scored.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 11th inning to send the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Cubs on Monday. He actually entered the game as a pinch hitter initially, and collected two singles in his three at-bats. While it'll go down as a single on the stat sheets, the ball was a rocket to the warning track that would have been a double if it hadn't won the game. Hopefully this is the spark that the 27-year-old needed to get going, as he's slashed just .228/.331/.325 on the season. The one silver lining of his profile has been a 13.4% walk rate, which has kept his on-base percentage manageable during the slump.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. It's a bit odd to see Marsh getting the day off against a right-handed starting pitcher. However, Marsh did recently return from the injured list, so possibly the Phillies are just being cautious. In his place, Johan Rojas will cover center field and bat ninth versus right-hander Luis L. Ortiz on Sunday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly, but Marsh hasn't done enough to warrant rostering in most formats.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto and outfielder Brandon Marsh will both start on the bench for Friday's series opener versus the hosting Cleveland Guardians. Rafael Marchan is doing the catching and batting ninth, while Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat eighth against Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams. Realmuto fouled a ball off his foot on Wednesday but returned to the lineup on Thursday, so there shouldn't be any concerns about his health. The 34-year-old has yet to really get going offensively and has gone 5-for-21 with a homer and four RBI in six games in May. Given his slow start to the year -- .170 (9-for-53) with a homer and seven RBI and a trip to the injured list -- Marsh isn't even guaranteed regular playing time against righties. Neither Marchan nor Rojas are very attractive DFS sleepers

The Philadelphia Phillies have activated outfielder Brandon Marsh (hamstring) off the 10-day injured list prior to their contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday evening. In a corresponding move, the Phillies are sending Cal Stevenson to Triple-A. Marsh has been held out of action with a strained right hamstring since April 20. Before his injury, Marsh posted a .095/.220/.167 slash line with just four total hits (one home run). During this slow start, Marsh held a 16:7 K:BB and tallied just five RBI. Under the hood, he generated a low .259 xwOBA with a .159 xBA. Fantasy managers should expect Marsh to have close to an everyday role in center field. However, given his slow start, he should only be targeted in deeper 15+ team formats.
