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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Marsh will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh will hit the bench against lefty MacKenzie Gore, with Christian 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.

Marsh went 2-for-3 with two homers, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The center fielder took Jameson Taillon deep in both the second and fifth frames for his sixth and seventh home runs of the campaign. The long balls are Marsh's first in June and brought an end to a 21-game homer drought. The 25-year-old is on pace for the best season of his career with a .283/.365/.469 slash line, 13 doubles, four stolen bases, 32 RBI and 32 runs through 71 games.
