Marsh received an injection for his sore right shoulder last week, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has yet to pitch at any level this season after he first experienced shoulder tightness early on during spring training before suffering multiple setbacks in the subsequent months. He's in the midst of a rest period while he waits for the injection to alleviate the discomfort in his shoulder, but if the shot provides the desired effect, he could soon restart a throwing program. Even if he's able to steer clear of any further setbacks, Marsh will likely require an extended ramp-up program and probably won't be a realistic candidate to return from the 60-day injured list until late August at the soonest.

Marsh (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing and will be re-evaluated July 9, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has experienced multiple setbacks in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement that emerged at the start of spring training. During his initial rehab attempt in early April, the right-hander appeared in extended spring training games, but in this latest effort, he had not progressed to facing hitters before being shut down again, per manager Matt Quatraro. The 27-year-old has made all 33 career starts since 2023, including 25 starts last season in which he posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 129.0 innings. His timeline to return remains uncertain, and even if healthy, Marsh may face an uphill battle to reclaim a spot in the starting rotation.

Marsh (shoulder) resumed throwing bullpen sessions at the end of May and has continued his throwing progression at the Royals' spring training facility in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report doesn't specify whether Marsh has resumed facing hitters yet, but that will be the next step in his progression once he gets enough bullpen sessions under his belt. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season after suffering from shoulder soreness early in spring training and then experiencing a setback in early April. Marsh posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 129 innings across 26 appearances (25 starts) with the Royals in 2024, but the big club may not have a spot available for him in the rotation once he's ready to return from the 60-day injured list, likely at some point in July.

The Royals transferred Marsh (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Luke Maile. Marsh re-started a throwing program last week after being shut down for a bit, but he will need several weeks to ramp up, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't alter his timetable.

Marsh (shoulder) started a new throwing program on April 25, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh had been shut down from throwing since April 5 after suffering a setback in his shoulder. He was set for further evaluation this week and it sounds like neither imaging nor a medical exam revealed any issues. He's still likely a month or more from returning as he begins to ramp up activity. Marsh originally experienced tightness in his right shoulder during his offseason throwing program and was being eased into action in the spring.

Imaging done on Marsh's right shoulder Tuesday was inconclusive, so he'll head back to Kansas City for further evaluation, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has been shut down from throwing since April 5 after suffering a setback in his shoulder, and he'll now have to wait a bit longer before receiving a verdict on whether he can resume his rehab program. If his next round of testing delivers promising results, the Royals aim to have him throwing again sometime this weekend.

Marsh (shoulder) will be re-evaluated Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh's evaluation Tuesday will come a little bit after the initial seven to 10 days he was shut down for. This is because he suffered a minor setback as he was rehabbing his right shoulder at the beginning of April. More will be know on his timetable come Tuesday.

Marsh suffered a minor setback while rehabbing his injured right shoulder at the team's complex in Arizona, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Royals are going to shut Marsh down for 7-to-10 days before re-evaluating him, which will obviously delay when he makes his season debut. The 26-year-old righty didn't have a defined return timeline prior to his setback, though we might finally receive one once he's been cleared to restart his throwing program.

Marsh (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported a few days prior that Marsh would begin the season on the injured list, so this transaction is simply procedural. The Royals have yet to announced a timetable for his return after he picked up a right shoulder injury Wednesday while pitching in a minor-league game.

Marsh (shoulder) is expected to begin the season on the injured list, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh experienced tightness in his right shoulder during his offseason throwing program and has been eased back into action this spring. He recently threw in a minor league game, so he is making progress. However, there's no clear timetable for his return.
