Marsh will be sidelined 3-4 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Phillies expect Marsh to be back in time for Opening Day, but he won't be working with much margin for error. It's a hit to the outfield depth of a Phillies team that was already pretty thin. Marsh is tentatively slated to be Philadelphia's left fielder, although he could slide back over to center field if the club decides Johan Rojas isn't ready.
Brandon Marsh In left field for Game 4
Marsh is starting in left field and batting eighth Thursday in Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta.
Analysis: Marsh has been sitting versus lefties this postseason, but he'll get the nod Thursday versus right-hander Spencer Strider as the Phillies look to eliminate the NL East champs. Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 victory in Game 3.
