After going 1-for-13 in the series against the Kansas City Royals, Brandon Marsh is out of the team’s starting lineup for Tuesday’s matchup with the Reds. Instead, Derek Hill will get the start in right field for Philadelphia.
Hill, who is on his second team this season, is batting .297 with 11 hits, one double, two home runs, six runs and five RBIs in 18 games for the Phillies this year. Hill has also played four different defensive positions for Philadelphia this season.
Marsh did not leave Monday’s game with an injury, and his absence is most likely a day off for the outfielder.
Marsh has been struggling lately, as he’s gone 3-for-26 over his last six games. Despite his recent struggles, the Phillies outfielder continues to be in the middle of one of the best seasons of his career.
The 28-year-old outfielder is batting .305 with 98 hits, 15 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs, 50 runs, 46 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 86 games this season. Marsh was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his career this year.
