Phils activate Marsh (hamstring) from 10-day IL

Phils activate Marsh (hamstring) from 10-day IL

The Philadelphia Phillies activated outfielder Brandon Marsh on Saturday from the 10-day injured list after his recovery from a right hamstring strain.

In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Marsh was placed on the IL on June 3 after he strained the hamstring while running the bases the previous day in a loss to the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. He felt something while running to first on a single, then grabbed the back of his leg after attempting to round second base one batter later in the eighth inning. He signaled for the training staff and was lifted for a pinch runner.

Marsh, 26, is batting .265 with six home runs and 26 RBIs in 52 games this season. In parts of four seasons with the Los Angeles Angels (2021-22) and Phillies (2022-present), he is batting .260 with 31 homers and 157 RBIs in 389 games.

Wilson, 29, is 0-for-4 in two games with Philadelphia this season. He made his major league debut Aug. 9, 2023, and went 5-for-16 (.313) with one homer and two RBIs in eight games for the Phillies last season.
