Marsh will be on the bench Saturday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Interim manager Rob Thomson indicated that Marsh would serve as the Phillies' everyday center fielder after he was acquired for catcher prospect Logan O'Hoppe at the deadline. While that may still be the case, his absence here against lefty Patrick Corbin indicates that a platoon could be in play. Matt Vierling will be the center fielder Saturday.

Marsh won't be available for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Just as interim manager Rob Thomson suggested would be the case Tuesday shortly after Marsh was acquired from the Angels, the 24-year-old outfielder won't be asked to make the trip to Atlanta with Wednesday's series finale beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET. Instead, Marsh will fly to Philadelphia and is expected to make his team debut in Thursday's series opener with the Nationals. Thomson said that Marsh will settle in as the Phillies' everyday center fielder, which should result in Matt Vierling moving into a bench role.

Interim manager Rob Thomson said Marsh will serve as the team's everyday center fielder when he likely joins the Phillies ahead of Thursday's series opener versus Washington, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson's comments came shortly after the Phillies announced that they acquired Marsh from the Angels in exchange for catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe. With Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET, the Phillies plan to have Marsh get settled in Philadelphia first rather than joining the team on the road. Marsh has endured a tough second season in the majors (.226/.284/.353), but the Phillies are optimistic that the change of scenery can help him unlock his full potential. Even though he's been billed as an everyday center fielder, the lefty-hitting Marsh could still cede starts to the righty-hitting Matt Vierling when the Phillies oppose left-handed pitchers.

The Phillies acquired Marsh from the Angels on Tuesday in exchange for catcher Logan O'Hoppe, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia is buying low on the 24-year-old lefty-hitting outfielder, who was once a consensus top-100 prospect. Marsh is hitting .226/.284/.353 with eight home runs, eight steals and a 36.2 percent strikeout rate in 93 games this season. He gives the Phillies another potential option in center field to go along with righty-hitting Matt Vierling.

Marsh went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old flashed his speed, stealing his eighth base of the year in the fifth inning before leading off the seventh with a three-bagger. Marsh has struggled for the most part in July, slashing .185/.254/.352 with a 44.1 percent strikeout rate through 19 games, but with Mike Trout (back) on the shelf and the Angels likely to be sellers at the trade deadline, his spot in the starting lineup seems secure.

Marsh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh started the last nine games the Angels played, but he will get a mental break after going just 5-for-27 (.185) over that span. Magneuris Sierra will take Marsh's place in the Angels' outfield.

Marsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight game, Marsh was the only thing standing between the Dodgers and a shutout win. The 24-year-old accounted for both of the Angels' runs against the local rivals during this weekend's two-game set. Marsh is up to nine homers, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .225/.278/.352 slash line through 294 plate appearances. Assuming Mike Trout (back) is good to go after the All-Star break, Marsh could see his role reduced to the strong side of a platoon in left field.

Marsh will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

He was all set to sit against Julio Urias, but Marsh will be thrust into a lefty-on-lefty matchup after Mike Trout was scratched due to upper-back spasms. In 75 plate appearances without the platoon edge this season, Marsh is slashing just .194/.236/.239.

Marsh will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh started against lefties in both Thursday and Friday's games but will sit Saturday against southpaw Julio Urias. Taylor Ward will be the left fielder in his absence, with Mike Trout returning from back spasms to start in center while Jo Adell gets the nod in right.

Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh allowed the Angels to avoid a shutout, taking Dodgers reliever Reyes Moronta deep in the ninth inning. Marsh's homer was the Angels' second hit of the game after Clayton Kershaw allowed only one hit in eight innings. Through 12 contests in July, Marsh has gone 6-for-35 (.171), so he could be at risk of losing playing time to Jo Adell once Mike Trout (back) is ready to rejoin the starting nine. For the season, Marsh is slashing .224/.279/.342 with seven long balls, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 82 games.
