Marsh is with the team, but it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. The Mets are scheduled to start southpaw Sean Manaea on Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Marsh could be held out of the lineup until Wednesday.

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.

Rotowire
Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Marsh now has five multi-hit efforts in his last 10 games and has doubled his season home-run total with three long balls over that span. He remains in a platoon role in center field, however, alongside deadline acquisition Harrison Bader.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Swipes bag in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Marsh went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Atlanta.
Marsh has been a little inconsistent at the plate lately, hitting safely in just four of his last eight games. He's 7-for-25 (.280) in that stretch, adding two RBI, two runs scored and two doubles. Marsh has taken a step back on the basepaths this year, posting just four steals on five attempts after swiping 19 bags on 22 tries in the 2024 regular season. The outfielder has added a reasonable .261/.337/.373 slash line with two home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles an a triple over 185 plate appearances. He continues to see a strong-side platoon role in center field, though he did face a left-handed pitcher earlier in the week at the tail end of a stretch of three straight opposing southpaws.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Continues to rake Friday
Rotowire
Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Mets.
It was the first three-hit game of the month by Marsh, who has now recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 outings. The 27-year-old outfielder is hitting a torrid .441 (15-for-34) with five extra-base hits, four RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base during that span. With Kyle Schwarber operating almost strictly as a designated hitter this season, Marsh has maintained a stable role in Philadelphia's outfield.

Rotowire
Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Though the Phillies are facing a sixth consecutive right-handed starter (Luis L. Ortiz) on Sunday, the left-handed-hitting Marsh has now found himself out of the lineup on three occasions during that stretch.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Activated from IL
Rotowire
The Phillies reinstated Marsh (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
A strained right hamstring has kept Marsh on the injured list since April 20. He began a minor-league rehab assignment four days later, but his time in the minors was extended slightly after he left a game early with a cramp in the same hamstring. Now, after going 6-for-20 with a homer, six RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in six rehab games, Marsh will return to Philadelphia and presumably reclaim his usual role in center field. Cal Stevenson was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Marsh (hamstring) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Marsh suffered a cramp in his right hamstring at Lehigh Valley on Sunday, which is the same hamstring in which he suffered the strain that sent him to the injured list. However, after three days of rest, Marsh will play Thursday and Friday before being evaluated for a potential return to the Phillies' active roster.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Leaves rehab game with cramp
Rotowire
Marsh exited Sunday's minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Lehigh Valley due to a cramp in his right hamstring, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The Phillies will re-evaluate Marsh on Monday to determine the severity of the setback. The outfielder is working his way back from a strained right hamstring, and he's batting .182 with one RBI and one stolen base over 11 at-bats (four games) on his rehab assignment. Marsh was on the cusp of rejoining Philadelphia's roster, but his return could now be slightly delayed.
Marsh (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Marsh has been sidelined for the past week with a right hamstring strain but has improved enough to test things out in game action. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks, he should be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sunday.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Marsh on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to a right hamstring strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The outfielder sat out the previous three games after tweaking his knee Wednesday against the Giants, but the hamstring issue is what prompted his move to the IL. Marsh is 0-for-31 with 11 strikeouts and five walks in his past 14 contests, and the injury could provide him with an opportunity to regroup. Johan Rojas should see the bulk of the playing time in center field, though Cal Stevenson was also called up Sunday.
