PHILADELPHIA — After only one day out of the lineup, the scuffling Brandon Marsh will be back in there as a starter for the Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
The left-handed-hitting Marsh is hitless in the month of April and is riding an 0-for-26 slump at the plate. He was taking the struggles hard. Phillies manager Rob Thomson removed him from the batting order for Monday night’s game, a 10-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a four-game series.
Marsh entered as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning following a long hitting session in the afternoon.
