Brandon Marsh needs to sit for about two weeks with a sprained ankle thanks to his awkward fall in center field, which means the Phillies are suddenly a little thin in outfield depth. Having nothing much in the minor leagues, they went outside the organization and grabbed a center fielder.
The Phillies have claimed OF Bradley Zimmer off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. To make room for Zimmer, OF Bryce Harper was transferred to the 60-day IL and OF Brandon Marsh was placed on the 10-day IL with a left ankle sprain (retro to 8/17).
