Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Could see playing time decrease
Rotowire
Manager Rob Thomson said Saturday that Marsh and Johan Rojas will split center field work but won't be in a straight platoon, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Marsh had been the Phillies' starting left fielder against right-handed pitching but the team is opting to deploy Austin Hays in left every day. Instead, Marsh will slide to center field. The lefty-hitting Marsh is expected to start most games against right-handed pitching while Rojas starts against lefties. Still, Rojas could see some work against right-handers. Marsh is slashing .247/.325/.410 with nine homers and 12 stolen bases this season.

Marsh doubled in the second inning and walked and stole second in the fourth. He later walked again in the eighth and has reached base seven times in his past two starts with a home run and a steal.

The 26-year-old is now hitting .270 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine steals through 225 plate appearances this season.
