Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
The left-handed-hitting Marsh will take a seat for the Phillies' second straight matchup with a left-handed starting pitcher (Eduardo Rodriguez). With fellow lefty Max Kepler joining Marsh on the bench, the Phillies will roll with an all right-handed-hitting outfield of Weston Wilson, Harrison Bader and Nick Castellanos from left to right.
Marsh went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Marsh's steal was his sixth of the season and his first since June 30 versus the Padres. The outfielder has done his part at getting on base in September, batting .388 (19-for-49) over 13 games this month, and he's racked up nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored in that span. For the season, he's maintained a .283/.345/.450 slash line with 11 home runs, 42 RBI and 59 runs across 403 plate appearances.
Marsh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.
Marsh put the Phillies ahead with a sixth-inning homer. He's been fairly steady at the plate lately, going 23-for-59 (.390) with four homers and 14 RBI over his last 16 games. For the season, the veteran outfielder is up to a .281/.342/.449 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 56 runs scored, five stolen bases, 23 doubles and two triples across 125 contests.
Marsh (illness) will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.
He had been held out of the lineup the last two contests while managing an illness, but Marsh appears to have shaken the ailment and will draw back into the starting nine as the Phillies go for a third straight win. The 27-year-old had been wielding a hot bat prior to falling ill, going 10-for-19 with four extra-base hits and three walks through his first five contests of September.

Marsh went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 win over Texas.

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).
