Brandon Marsh's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (hamstring) left Sunday's 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals with a right-hamstring strain. Marsh sustained the injury by rounding second base during the bottom of the eighth inning but was able to walk off under his power. He went 1-for-3 with a walk before leaving the game. The 26-year-old will undergo further evaluation on his injured hamstring and is considered day-to-day. Marsh is hitting .265/.344/.426 with six homers, 26 RBI, and 20 runs scored over 52 games. Cristian Pache replaced Marsh in Sunday's game and could see an uptick in at-bats if Marsh were to miss time. Pache is not on the fantasy radar after slashing .216/.305/.275 with eight RBI over 24 games this season.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielders Brandon Marsh and Johan Rojas will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's series finale against the San Francisco Giants with left-hander Kyle Harrison on the mound. With Marsh getting a breather, utility man Whit Merrifield will make the start in left field and will bat seventh against Harrison, who he has never faced in his career. Cristian Pache is in center field and is batting ninth. The lefty-hitting Marsh has really struggled in limited at-bats against lefties in 2024, going 5-for-36 (.139) with no homers and 18 strikeouts in 43 plate appearances compared to a .297 average (35-for-118) with all six of his long balls against righties. Merrifield does have both of his long balls in 2024 off of lefties, but he's also hitting just .181 (17-for-94) on the year with just four RBI and six stolen bases in 29 games played.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh find themselves on the bench for Friday's contest against Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers. Cristian Pache is in left field for the Phillies and is batting in the eight-hole, while Whit Merrifield will play second base and bat sixth against Rogers. Stott is carrying a .250/.344/.389 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI, eight steals and 19 runs in 108 at-bats so far in 2024. Marsh will be out for the first time since May 1. The 26-year-old is batting .254 (30-for-118) with six homers, 20 RBI, five steals and 13 runs this year. Merrifield is the more realistic DFS sleeper target on Friday. He's never faced Rogers in his career and is hitting .237 (14-for-59) on the year with two homers, four RBI and four stolen bases.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh are not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marsh and Stott will sit against Pirates left-hander Marco Gonzales. Stott and Marsh should be available off the bench to pinch-hit in Saturday's contest. Cristian Pache replaces Marsh in left field and is batting eighth, while Edmundo Sosa is batting sixth and handling the keystone. Pache has appeared in three games and has yet to collect a hit over four plate appearances. Sosa is hitting a robust .750 (3-for-4) with a homer over three games. Pache can be avoided in all fantasy leagues, while Sosa can be used as a streamer in a plus matchup versus Gonzales for Saturday's slate.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh had another good day at the plate on Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marsh went 1-for-3 with his fourth homer of the young season and added a run and two RBI to his line as well. The 26-year-old appears to be finding his groove fourth MLB season, as he is slashing a strong .333/.357/.641 with six runs, four homers, nine RBI, and a steal. He doesn't play every day, but if he continues to hit he might force the Phillies hand. Marsh has some upside and is a decent option in fantasy leagues, especially those with five outfielder spots to fill.
