Back in lineup Friday
Marsh (finger) is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Dodgers on Friday.
Analysis
Marsh was held out of Wednesday's lineup against the Padres after spraining his right middle finger during Tuesday's win against San Diego. With an extra day of rest, Marsh is back in action for Friday's series opener and will join Adolis Garcia and Steward Berroa in the outfield. Marsh is slashing .326/.356/.481 with four steals, five home runs and 24 RBI across 194 plate appearances this season.

Bowing out of lineup Wednesday
Marsh (finger) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis
The Phillies will unsurprisingly keep Marsh on the bench for the series finale Wednesday after the outfielder exited Tuesday's 4-3 win in the fourth inning due to a right middle finger sprain, an injury he initially suffered while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the top of the first. Per Paul Casella of MLB.com, Marsh said he plans to wear mitts on both of his hands as a baserunner to guard against future injuries while sliding, but at this point, the Phillies are viewing his sprained finger as a day-to-day concern and not something that will keep him out of the lineup for long. Philadelphia is off Thursday, so Marsh could be ready to start when the team opens up a three-game series with the Dodgers on Friday.

Battling sprained finger
Marsh was diagnosed with a right middle finger sprain following his removal from Tuesday's game against San Diego, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Marsh suffered the injury sliding back into first base while getting picked off in the first inning. He's slated to undergo further evaluation, and a timeline for his return will likely take shape once the Phillies get his results back. He can be considered day-to-day in the meantime, though Edmundo Sosa could be in line for extra starts in the outfield if Marsh has to sit.

Exits with injury
Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent hand injury, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Marsh's hand seemed to be bothering him after he was picked off at first base in the first inning, and he was eventually taken out of the game in the fourth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Phillies may provide more information in the near future after they've taken a closer look at him. Edmundo Sosa would figure to be next in line to start in the outfield if Marsh has to miss time.

Goes yard in win
Marsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-0 win over the Padres.
Analysis
Marsh extended the Phillies' lead with a line-drive, two-run smash over the right-field fence in the top of the seventh inning. It marked the outfielder's first homer since April 24, though he still managed to post an .801 OPS across 27 games during the dry spell. Marsh's .318 batting average ranks third in MLB to go along with 16 extra-base hits (five homers), 24 RBI, 28 runs and four stolen bases across 50 contests.
