The Royals optioned Marsh to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh will lose his spot in the rotation and on the 26-man active roster after the Royals acquired Michael Lorenzen from the Rangers earlier this week and settled on him as their new No. 5 starter. The Royals have a doubleheader on Aug. 26 in Cleveland, so Marsh will be a candidate to return that day, if he's not needed before then. While Marsh is down in the minors, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that the right-hander will scale back his workload and throw around 40-to-60 pitches in his outings at Omaha, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com.
