Brandon Marsh

Brandon Marsh went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the Phillies' 9-6 win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Despite striking out twice, Marsh's ability to drive in runs was crucial in securing the win for Philadelphia. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, characterized by a modest .254 average and a concerning strikeout rate of .326. However, his 60 RBI and 16 homers show he can be a valuable contributor in runs and power categories. Fantasy managers should view Marsh as a situational play, best utilized against favorable pitching matchups given his high strikeout tendency and sporadic production.

Brandon Marsh went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, one run scored, and one RBI in the Phillies' 6-2 defeat to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while solid, underscores a season of moderate highs and concerning strikeout rates for Marsh. With a batting average hovering around the .253 mark and a strikeout rate at 32.4%, fantasy managers should temper expectations. His power-speed combo, evidenced by 16 homers and as many stolen bases, keeps him relevant in most formats, but the high strikeout numbers are a drag on his batting average and on-base potential. Moving forward, Marsh remains a viable fantasy option, particularly for those in need of home run and stolen base stats, but he's not without his risks.
