Marsh was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Orioles due to a case of the stomach flu, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Provided the illness isn't anything more than a day-to-day concern, the lefty-hitting Marsh looks poised to handle a strong-side platoon role in left field moving forward following the recent return of Taylor Ward from the injured list along with Mike Trout's recent comeback from a three-game absence due to a hand issue. Platoon mate Jo Adell will end up drawing the start in left field Sunday while Marsh looks to move past the stomach bug.

Marsh will sit Friday against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh will hit the bench against lefty Bruce Zimmermann. He's started against three of the six southpaws the Angels have faced this season. Mike Trout returns from a hand injury to start in center field, while Jo Adell starts in left.

Marsh went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old outfielder continues to make a case for a regular spot in the lineup, despite manager Joe Maddon's indication early this season he might have to platoon with Jo Adell when everyone was healthy. Through 11 games, Marsh is slashing .323/.425/.516 with a homer, six runs scored and 11 RBI, and the only real blemish on his line is a 1-for-3 performance on stolen base attempts.

Marsh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has an .861 OPS with one home run and seven RBI through seven games this season but will take a seat with lefty Martin Perez pitching for Texas. Jo Adell and Taylor Ward will start in the corner outfield Sunday for the Angels.

Marsh went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, double, walk and an additional run and RBI in a 6-2 win against Miami on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh got Los Angeles on the board early with a three-run home run in the first inning, walk in the second and RBI double in the eighth. The young outfielder has now hit safely in three of four games and is slashing .400/.571/.800 through 10 at-bats in the early going.

Marsh is not in Sunday's starting lineup against Houston, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has started each of the team's first three games, but he will give way to Jo Adell on Sunday. Marsh may be the favorite for the most playing time between the trio of he, Jose Rojas and Adell, though there appears to be a timeshare at the corner outfield positions to begin the season in Los Angeles.

Angels manager Joe Maddon explained Thursday that, prior to his groin injury, Taylor Ward was scheduled to be the team's everyday right fielder while Marsh and Jo Adell were expected to platoon in left, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Maddon had previous indicated that each of Marsh, Adell and Ward were targeted for 450 to 500 at-bats this season, it appears that Ward was the only one who would be taking on a true everyday role under the original arrangement. The groin injury he suffered two days before Opening Day foiled that plan to kick off the campaign, but it's possible that the scenario could still play out following Ward's return. Of note, both Adell and Marsh started in corner outfield spots Thursday, but Adell took a seat Friday while Marsh started in left and Jose Rojas started in right. Either Marsh or Adell could earn a stranglehold on playing time with a strong start to the campaign, but neither has done well through two contests. Marsh is 1-for-6 while Adell has struck out in all five of his plate appearances.

Angels managers Joe Maddon said Saturday that he wants to get each of Marsh, Jo Adell and Taylor Ward 450 to 500 at-bats this season, Scott Bordow of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The playing-time outlook for all three players widened with the organization's decision to DFA Justin Upton, and Marsh has essentially clinched what was already expected to be a starting role in left field. Upton's presence would have undoubtedly eaten into Marsh's at-bats, so the move to part ways with the veteran certainly helps the 24-year-old's fantasy outlook. His ability to play all three outfield spots is also a positive, though he figures to yield time to Ward on occasion.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Marsh is dealing with unspecified soreness after he stepped awkwardly on first base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report explains why Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday. The Angels will presumably look to stay away from Marsh in the season finale, and if so, he'll close his rookie campaign with a .255/.318/.357 slash line, two home runs and six stolen bases across 259 plate appearances.
