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.
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.

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.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Provides power, speed in rout
Rotowire
Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.
Marsh tallied his first three-hit attack of the campaign, also swiping his second bag of the year. The 28-year-old outfielder is off to an excellent start at the dish, hitting .304 with two home runs, four doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs scored across 56 at-bats. However, the lefty-swinging Marsh has taken only eight at-bats versus southpaws in 2026, so the lack of playing time against left-handers limits his overall fantasy value.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Marsh will get his first breather of 2026 after he went 3-for-8 with two doubles and two RBI through the Phillies' first two contests. Though he'll be on the bench versus southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Marsh won't necessarily be used as a strict platoon player. Justin Crawford is also in the lineup Sunday, but he's also a left-handed batter who could occasionally cede center field to Marsh against southpaws as a result of Johan Rojas's suspension.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Goes yard in four-hit attack
Rotowire
Marsh went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 win over Texas.
Marsh is beginning to sizzle at the plate -- he's now picked up multiple hits in six of his last 11 outings following his first four-hit game of the year Friday. Since returning from the injured list back in early May, the outfielder has been very productive in the lower part of Philadelphia's lineup while playing his strong-side platoon role. Marsh is slashing .314/.371/.486 with six homers, 22 RBI, 36 runs scored and five stolen bases over his last 234 plate appearances (75 games).
