"A second-round pick in 2019, Marsh debuted as a swingman four years later. He held a rotation spot for most of the '24 season, tossing 129 innings over 26 appearances. The Arizona State product put up a 4.53 ERA with slightly better than average strikeout and walk rates. He averaged 94 MPH on a four-seam fastball that headlined a six-pitch mix."
"Marsh has a little over two years of major league service. He will not qualify for arbitration until the end of next season and wouldn't have the body of work to rack up significant earnings, at least in year one. If the Royals keep him on the roster all winter, they can place him back on the 60-day IL at the beginning of Spring Training."
Jackson Marsh underwent labrum surgery after recurring shoulder issues that kept him from pitching this season and is expected to miss most or all of 2026 with a potentially yearlong rehab. Marsh was a second-round pick in 2019 and debuted as a swingman in 2023, holding a rotation spot through much of 2024 with 129 innings over 26 appearances and a 4.53 ERA. He averaged 94 MPH on a four-seam fastball within a six-pitch mix and projected as a possible fifth starter. Marsh has just over two years of major-league service and won’t reach arbitration until after 2026. Kansas City can manage his roster via the 60-day injured list, and the Royals may seek innings-eating depth given late-season injuries.
