BRANDON MARSH NEWS

Hitless in big-league debut Marsh went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts Sunday against the Mariners.

Impact Marsh started in center field and batted seventh in his first game as a major-leaguer. Despite the rough debut, he figures to see regular playing time in center field, at least until Mike Trout (calf) is able to return.

Receives call to majors Angels manager Joe Maddon said that Marsh has been called up from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. Marsh will start...

Impact The 23-year-old, who is regarded as one of the top prospects in the system, earned his first big-league call-up after slashing .255/.364/.468 with three home runs and two stolen bases across 110 plate appearances this season at Salt Lake. Marsh hasn't demonstrated the ability to consistently generate power from his 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, but the toolsy outfielder well-rounded skill set should make him an appealing pickup in mixed leagues where available. He's likely to receive an extended trial as the Angels' everyday center fielder, given the limited production that journeyman Juan Lagares (.606 OPS on the season) has provided while Mike Trout (calf) has been on the 60-day injured list.

Back with Salt Lake Marsh (shoulder) has been activated from the injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake, Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos reports.

Impact Marsh hit the injured list in early June with right shoulder inflammation. The Halos' top prospect played in four games for the rookie-level ACL Angels in a rehab assignment, and he is now set to resume his Triple-A campaign. Marsh is currently slashing .183/.338/.317 through 74 plate appearances at Salt Lake, so he'll likely need to see an improvement at the plate in order to gain serious consideration for a big-league callup.

Homers in first rehab game Marsh (shoulder) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a start for the rookie-level ACL Angels on Saturday.

Impact Marsh returned to action for the Arizona Complex League squad after missing over a month with shoulder inflammation. He had slashed .183/.338/.317 with one homer and one stolen base across 74 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to the injury and will likely head back to that level after his rehab stint is complete.

Out with shoulder inflammation Marsh landed on the injured list for Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday due to right shoulder inflammation, though the issue isn't considered serious, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact At-bats are available in the Angels' outfielder with Mike Trout (calf) expected to be out past the All-Star break, but the team has so far turned to the likes of Juan Lagares and Taylor Ward rather than giving opportunities to Marsh or fellow prospect Jo Adell. Marsh wasn't exactly making a strong case for a promotion even before his injury, however, hitting just .183/.338/.317 in 16 Triple-A games. It's not clear exactly how long the shoulder issue will keep him out for, but he'd likely need several weeks of much stronger numbers if he's to earn a call-up.

Impact Marsh, the Angels' top prospect, is off to a hot start through six games at Triple-A, slashing .273/.448/.545 while drawing seven walks against nine strikeouts in 29 plate appearances. Though Marsh and Adell would represent the highest-upside options in the organization that could help fill in for Trout, the Angels are apparently content to proceed with Taylor Ward and Juan Lagares as their main center fielders for the time being. In Marsh's case, the Angels may want to see him find more sustained success at the Triple-A level after he missed out on some development time due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season, then battled a labrum injury during spring training. The 23-year-old still appears likely to make his MLB debut at some point in 2021, if health prevails.

Joins Triple-A Salt Lake Marsh was added to the roster of the Angels' Triple-A affiliate Thursday.

Impact Marsh was held out of the start of the minor-league season while recovering from a shoulder injury, but he was deemed healthy enough to play center field and bat leadoff for Salt Lake on Thursday. The outfield prospect wasted little time showing off his big bat, smashing a solo home run in his second plate appearance. Marsh is likely to get his first call-up to the big leagues this season, and that could happen relatively soon if he gets off to a hot start with Salt Lake.

Eyeing mid-May for Triple-A debut Marsh isn't expected to make his 2021 debut for Triple-A Salt Lake while he continues to rehab a shoulder injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old saw action for the Angels as a designated hitter in spring training, but he wasn't cleared for outfield duty in Cactus League games while he ramped up from a labrum injury. Since spring training concluded, Marsh has remained in Arizona to continue his throwing program, and he appears to be nearing full clearance. One of the Angels' top position prospects, Marsh could make his MLB debut at some point in 2021 if he proves at Triple-A that his shoulder issue isn't a lingering concern.

Starting spring game Marsh (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Padres.

Impact Marsh has dealt with a shoulder injury over the past several days, but he'll be back in the Cactus League lineup Saturday. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy and should begin the season at the Triple-A level.

Playing field in B game Marsh (shoulder) is starting at first base and batting second in Sunday's "B" game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was previously expected to play center field in Sunday's game, but he'll instead start at first base. Marsh could still shift to the outfield during the contest. He has yet to play the field in Cactus League action this spring while recovering from an offseason labrum injury, but his appearance in the "B" game is a good sign for his progression. Marsh was optioned to the minors last week and is poised to open the season at the Triple-A level.

Throws from 90 feet Marsh (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet Friday and has no limitations, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marsh has yet to play in the outfield this spring as he continues to recover from a labrum injury suffered last season. He recently stated that he has been set back after tweaking his shoulder but doesn't consider the issue to be serious, per Blake Harris of SB Nation. Marsh has already been optioned to the minors and won't break camp with the Angels. He is scheduled to play center field in a "B" game on Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Optioned off roster Marsh (arm) was optioned to the minors Tuesday.

Impact Marsh was always expected to open the season at the Triple-A level, and with an arm issue slowing him down throughout camp, he hasn't really had the chance to make an unlikely charge toward a roster spot. He should be a candidate for a midseason callup if he looks good in the minors to start the year.

Still not playing outfield Marsh has yet to get any defensive reps this spring, but he is expected to make his outfield debut in about a week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marsh has been held back defensively as he continues to recover from a shoulder labrum injury that he suffered last season. However, the 23-year-old has been swinging the bat, going 2-for-8 with a triple and an RBI in a DH role. It appears that he'll be ready to play the field soon, allowing him to potentially test the shoulder in Cactus League action. Marsh is expected to be moved to the team's alternate training site prior to Opening Day and to kick off the campaign at Triple-A. He could get his first big-league call-up this season.

Playing catch to 90 feet Marsh (arm) has been playing catch out to 90 feet, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Angels' top prospect was listed as an available reserve for Wednesday's game, but it sounds like he would be limited to DH duties at the moment. He was unlikely to make the Opening Day roster in any case, but once he's fully healthy, he could push for a first-half promotion.

MARCH 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available as reserve Wednesday Marsh (arm) is listed among the Angels' available reserve players for Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Indians.

Impact Marsh may not be ready to play the outfield while he works his way through a throwing program, but he should be an option to replace starting designated hitter Max Stassi at some point during Wednesday's game. The 23-year-old is expected to open the 2021 season at Triple-A Salt Lake after slashing .300/.383/.428 over 412 plate appearances at Double-A Mobile in his last minor-league season in 2019.
