For the third straight game, Marsh is playing center field and leading off for the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie went 1-for-9 batting leadoff the last two days, but the team is sticking with him atop of the order. David Fletcher, who had been leading off prior to Marsh taking over the role, has hit second in each of the past three games.

Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh popped his second home run of the season in the eighth inning to provide the game-winning run for the Angels. It was his first home run since Aug. 25 and only his second multi-hit effort across 11 starts in September. Overall, Marsh has a mediocre .267/.328/.386 line across 192 plate appearances. However, he has a 39 percent strikeout rate and his batting average is being propped up by a .455 BABIP.

Marsh went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run Wednesday in the Angels' 8-5 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Though he delivered one of only two extra-base hits on the night against Padres ace Yu Darvish, Marsh has still been trending down to begin September. Through seven games on the month, Marsh has gone 3-for-22 with no walks and a 45.5 percent strikeout rate. With time running out for Mike Trout (calf) to make it back from the 60-day injured list, Marsh looks secure as the Angels' everyday center fielder, but the rookie's recent downturn could make him a cut candidate outside of AL-only leagues and deeper mixed leagues.

Marsh will not start Saturday's game against Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh has hit .375/.408/.542 over his last 20 games, though that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate, a number which suggests his hot streak isn't particularly sustainable. The strong run may have already come to an end, as he's gone just 1-for-10 with six strikeouts over his last three contests. Juan Lagares will take over for him in center field.

Marsh went 4-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Marsh came into Tuesday's contest following a 1-for-8 drought and more than made up for it with his first four-hit game at the major-league level. The 23-year-old, now batting .250/.326/.345 across 36 games, is still in search of his first long ball.
