Everyday role awaits Interim manager Rob Thomson said Marsh will serve as the team's everyday center fielder when he likely joins the Phillies ahead of Thursday's series opener versus Washington, Matt...

Impact Thomson's comments came shortly after the Phillies announced that they acquired Marsh from the Angels in exchange for catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe. With Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET, the Phillies plan to have Marsh get settled in Philadelphia first rather than joining the team on the road. Marsh has endured a tough second season in the majors (.226/.284/.353), but the Phillies are optimistic that the change of scenery can help him unlock his full potential. Even though he's been billed as an everyday center fielder, the lefty-hitting Marsh could still cede starts to the righty-hitting Matt Vierling when the Phillies oppose left-handed pitchers.

Dealt to Philly Marsh was traded from the Angels to the Phillies on Tuesday for Logan O'Hoppe, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Phillies will buy low on the 24-year-old lefty-hitting outfielder who was once a consensus top 100 prospect. Marsh is hitting .226/.284/.353 with eight home runs, eight steals and a 36.2 K% in 93 games. He is a career .239/.299/.354 hitter in 163 games. Marsh gives the Phillies another potential option in center field to go along with righty-hitting Matt Vierling.

Collects eighth steal Marsh went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

Impact The 24-year-old flashed his speed, stealing his eighth base of the year in the fifth inning before leading off the seventh with a three-bagger. Marsh has struggled for the most part in July, slashing .185/.254/.352 with a 44.1 percent strikeout rate through 19 games, but with Mike Trout (back) on the shelf and the Angels likely to be sellers at the trade deadline, his spot in the starting lineup seems secure.

Held out Tuesday Marsh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Marsh started the last nine games the Angels played, but he will get a mental break after going just 5-for-27 (.185) over that span. Magneuris Sierra will take Marsh's place in the Angels' outfield.

Accounts for lone run Saturday Marsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact For the second straight game, Marsh was the only thing standing between the Dodgers and a shutout win. The 24-year-old accounted for both of the Angels' runs against the local rivals during this weekend's two-game set. Marsh is up to nine homers, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .225/.278/.352 slash line through 294 plate appearances. Assuming Mike Trout (back) is good to go after the All-Star break, Marsh could see his role reduced to the strong side of a platoon in left field.

Late addition to lineup Marsh will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against the Dodgers.

Impact He was all set to sit against Julio Urias, but Marsh will be thrust into a lefty-on-lefty matchup after Mike Trout was scratched due to upper-back spasms. In 75 plate appearances without the platoon edge this season, Marsh is slashing just .194/.236/.239.

Heads to bench Marsh will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Marsh started against lefties in both Thursday and Friday's games but will sit Saturday against southpaw Julio Urias. Taylor Ward will be the left fielder in his absence, with Mike Trout returning from back spasms to start in center while Jo Adell gets the nod in right.

Prevents shutout Friday Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Marsh allowed the Angels to avoid a shutout, taking Dodgers reliever Reyes Moronta deep in the ninth inning. Marsh's homer was the Angels' second hit of the game after Clayton Kershaw allowed only one hit in eight innings. Through 12 contests in July, Marsh has gone 6-for-35 (.171), so he could be at risk of losing playing time to Jo Adell once Mike Trout (back) is ready to rejoin the starting nine. For the season, Marsh is slashing .224/.279/.342 with seven long balls, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 82 games.

Notches steal in loss Marsh went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

Impact Marsh accounted for one of the Angels' two hits in the contest. He was also hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to help spark a four-run rally. The outfielder has hit safely in three of his last four games and added three stolen bases in that span. He's up to a .225/.279/.336 slash line with six home runs, seven steals, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple through 278 plate appearances. If Mike Trout (back) misses time, Marsh's playing time should be noticeably more steady, as he or Monte Harrison would likely move to center field to fill the gap in the lineup.
