Daily News | Phillies’ Brandon Marsh hits the injured list and could be out 2-3 weeks
Phillies center fielder Brandon Marsh gets helped off the field after an injury during the fifth inning against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, August 5, 2023 in Philadelphia.Phillies center fielder Brandon Marsh was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday after banging his left knee against the center field fence in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game against the Royals. An MRI and an X-ray revealed a bruise on Marsh’s left knee.
“He’s playing great,” Thomson said of Wilson. “Hits left-handed pitching. Can play anywhere. So you’ve got all kinds of flexibility. He runs pretty well, defends pretty well everywhere. He’s a good player.” For the first time in a while, the Phillies have some real outfield depth. Johan Rojas, who was called up a few weeks ago, is an elite defender and hitting .300/.333/.375 through his first 16 games. Cristian Pache, who is on the injured list with right elbow irritation, could return earlier than Marsh. Pache is expected to start a rehab assignment Tuesday. Like Rojas, he is an elite defender who can play all outfield positions. Pache was hitting .327/.365/.
But while the Phillies are in a better position than they would have been a few years ago, it is still a loss. Marsh was one of their most consistent hitters. He hit .284/.369/.463 this season, and .300/.394/.522 over his last 30 games.
