Marsh (knee) said Wednesday that he's been cleared for jogging, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Resuming light running work represents Marsh's first meaningful step forward in his recovery from the left knee scope he underwent earlier this month. He's expected to require 3-to-4 weeks to make a full recovery from the procedure, and while the Phillies anticipate that Marsh will be ready for Opening Day, he's unlikely to be cleared for game action until late in the Grapefruit League schedule. When healthy, Marsh is projected to handle the strong side of a platoon in left field with Whit Merrifield, though full-time roles would likely be opened up for both Merrifield and center fielder Johan Rojas if Marsh hits a snag in his recovery and is forced to begin the season on the injured list.

Marsh will be sidelined 3-4 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies expect Marsh to be back in time for Opening Day, but he won't be working with much margin for error. It's a hit to the outfield depth of a Phillies team that was already pretty thin. Marsh is tentatively slated to be Philadelphia's left fielder, although he could slide back over to center field if the club decides Johan Rojas isn't ready.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh's contributions came late Sunday -- he had an RBI single in the eighth inning and a three-run blast one frame later. The outfielder hit poorly in September, batting .200 with two homers and eight RBI across 23 games last month. He finishes the regular season with a .277/.372/.458 slash line, a career-high 12 long balls, 60 RBI, 58 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 133 games. Marsh should be in the lineup regularly versus right-handers as the Phillies look to defend their National League pennant from 2022.
