Phillies reinstate Brandon Marsh in left field for upcoming Diamondbacks series
The Philadelphia Phillies have placed outfielder Brandon Marsh back into the starting lineup for their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Philadelphia re-added Brandon Marsh to the roster for the Monday night game versus the Arizona Diamondbacks, restoring him to his usual left-field position. Marsh, who posted a career-high 17 home runs and earned his first All-Star selection this season, missed only the prior contest. The Phillies' batting order includes Kyle Schwarber as the designated hitter, Trea Turner at shortstop, Bryce Harper in right field, Luis Arraez at second base, Alec Bohm at first, Bryson Stott at third, J.T.
Crawford in centre and Garrett Stubbs catching. Aaron Nola is slated to start on the mound, with J.T. Realmuto still out of the lineup. The team hopes Marsh's return will bolster their offense as they navigate a challenging series before heading to a four-game set against the Atlanta Braves.
Why it matters
Marsh's return adds a key power hitter to the Phillies as they seek to improve their offense against a tough opponent.
