Marsh (shoulder) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a start for the rookie-level ACL Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh returned to action for the Arizona Complex League squad after missing over a month with shoulder inflammation. He had slashed .183/.338/.317 with one homer and one stolen base across 74 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to the injury and will likely head back to that level after his rehab stint is complete.

Marsh landed on the injured list for Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday due to right shoulder inflammation, though the issue isn't considered serious, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

At-bats are available in the Angels' outfielder with Mike Trout (calf) expected to be out past the All-Star break, but the team has so far turned to the likes of Juan Lagares and Taylor Ward rather than giving opportunities to Marsh or fellow prospect Jo Adell. Marsh wasn't exactly making a strong case for promotion even before his injury, however, hitting just .183/.338/.317 in 16 Triple-A games. It's not clear exactly how long the shoulder issue will keep him out for, but he'd likely need several weeks of much stronger numbers if he's to earn a call-up.

The Angels have no immediate plans to call up Marsh or Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake after Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a calf strain that will likely keep him sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh, the Angels' top prospect, is off to a hot start through six games at Triple-A, slashing .273/.448/.545 while drawing seven walks against nine strikeouts in 29 plate appearances. Though Marsh and Adell would represent the highest-upside options in the organization that could help fill in for Trout, the Angels are apparently content to proceed with Taylor Ward and Juan Lagares as their main center fielders for the time being. In Marsh's case, the Angels may want to see him find more sustained success at the Triple-A level after he missed out on some development time due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season, then battled a labrum injury during spring training. The 23-year-old still appears likely to make his MLB debut at some point in 2021, if health prevails.

Marsh was added to the roster of the Angels' Triple-A affiliate Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh was held out of the start of the minor-league season while continuing to recover from a shoulder injury, but he was deemed healthy enough to play center field and bat leadoff for Salt Lake on Thursday. The outfield prospect wasted little time showing off his big bat, smashing a solo home run in his second plate appearance. Marsh is likely to get his first call-up to the big leagues this season, and that could happen relatively soon if he gets off to a hot start with Salt Lake.

Marsh isn't expected to make his 2021 debut for Triple-A Salt Lake while he continues to rehab a shoulder injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old saw action for the Angels as a designated hitter in spring training, but he wasn't cleared for outfield duty in Cactus League games while he ramped up from a labrum injury. Since spring training concluded, Marsh has remained in Arizona to continue his throwing program, and he appears to be nearing full clearance. One of the Angels' top position prospects, Marsh could make his MLB debut at some point in 2021 if he proves at Triple-A that his shoulder issue isn't a lingering concern.

Marsh (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh has dealt with a shoulder injury over the past several days, but he'll be back in the Cactus League lineup Saturday. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy and should begin the season at the Triple-A level.

Marsh (shoulder) is starting at first base and batting second in Sunday's "B" game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was previously expected to play center field in Sunday's game, but he'll instead start at first base. Marsh could still shift to the outfield during the contest. He has yet to play the field in Cactus League action this spring while recovering from an offseason labrum injury, but his appearance in the "B" game is a good sign for his progression. Marsh was optioned to the minors last week and is poised to open the season at the Triple-A level.

Marsh (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet Friday and has no limitations, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh has yet to play in the outfield this spring as he continues to recover from a labrum injury suffered last season. He recently stated that he has been set back after tweaking his shoulder but doesn't consider the issue to be serious, per Blake Harris of SB Nation. Marsh has already been optioned to the minors and won't break camp with the Angels. He is scheduled to play center field in a B-game on Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Marsh (arm) was optioned to the minors Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh was always expected to open the season at the Triple-A level, and with an arm issue slowing him down throughout camp, he hasn't really had the chance to make an unlikely charge toward a roster spot. He should be a candidate for a midseason call-up if he looks good in the minors to start the year.

Marsh has yet to get any defensive reps this spring, but he is expected to make his outfield debut in about a week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh has been held back defensively as he continues to recover from a shoulder labrum injury that he suffered last season. However, the 23-year-old has been swinging the bat, going 2-for-8 with a triple and an RBI in a DH role. It appears that he'll be ready to play the field soon, allowing him to potentially test the shoulder in Cactus League action. Marsh is expected to be moved to the team's alternate training site prior to Opening Day and to kick off the campaign at Triple-A. He could get his first big-league call-up this season.
