The Phillies announced Friday that outfielder Brandon Marsh underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee this morning. He's expected to return to game activity in three to four weeks, per the team, and the Phillies anticipate that he'll still be ready for Opening Day.
The Phillies were already known to be poking around the market for another bench bat, and it's fair to wonder whether this injury news regarding Marsh might push them a bit harder to find a right-handed-hitting outfielder. Marsh is a career .223/.278/.312 hitter against southpaws anyhow, and while there's no indication that this is expected to be a long-term issue, it's also not uncommon to see a relatively minor surgery bring about some lingering issues.
