Overview
- Marsh injured his right middle finger when the Padres ran a pickoff and he reached for the bag during Tuesday’s game at Petco Park.
- He stayed in the game and finished 2-for-2 before exiting in the bottom of the fourth inning and being replaced in right field by Adolis García.
- The Phillies announced the injury as a sprain and interim manager Don Mattingly said Marsh is being treated day-to-day and may be sore Wednesday.
- Marsh said the finger bothered him more on throws than when batting and joked he plans to use two sliding mitts while it heals.
- Marsh is one of Philadelphia’s best hitters this season, so any missed time would push bench options and less-productive outfielders into larger roles and could hurt the team’s offense.
