Brandon Marsh Resting Against Southpaw
4 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is out of the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park with a left-hander on the mound. With Marsh sitting, Weston Wilson will draw the start in left field for the Phillies and will bat in the eight-hole against Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker. At this point, fantasy managers should know to keep Marsh on their benches against lefties, as he's hit just .203 against them in 67 plate appearances in 2024 and has not gone deep against them at all. Against righties, he's a modest power/speed contributor in fantasy with 11 homers and 14 stolen bases in 310 total at-bats. Wilson is hitting .273 (9-for-33) in a limited sample size and will be a DFS sleeper option to avoid in the eight-hole on Thursday.
