Brandon Marsh Continues Power Binge With Two More Homers on Monday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh has been flexing his muscles all month, and that continued in Monday night's 11-7 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates at Citizens Bank Park. Marsh went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and also struck out three times in the contest. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is now up to 14 homers on the season -- he's just three home runs shy of a new career high -- and he's up to a whopping nine round-trippers in June. In addition to his 14 homers, Marsh has 44 RBI in 80 games played and has become a must-add off the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking more pop in their lineup. The former second-round selection by the Los Angeles Angels in 2016 came into Monday's contest against Pittsburgh with a .321/.353/.510 slash line, .863 OPS, 12 homers, 42 RBI, 46 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect some regression since he's basically playing every day and being exposed to more left-handed pitchers, but regardless, he's now rostered in nearly 80% of Yahoo leagues.
