Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies activated Marsh (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Marsh wound up missing just under two weeks of action with a right hamstring strain. He was cleared to return after going 4-for-8 with one walk in two rehab games with Double-A Reading. Marsh has slashed .265/.344/.426 with six homers and eight steals for the Phillies this season.
Marsh (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Thursday.
Marsh has been working out with Reading in recent days and is ready to test out his strained right hamstring in a game setting. The outfielder shouldn't require too many rehab games before being activated since he just landed on the 10-day injured list June 3. A return early next week at the start of the Phillies' homestand seems like a sensible target for Marsh.
Marsh (hamstring) is working out with Double-A Reading and is expected to appear in games with the affiliate this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Marsh was placed on the IL on June 3 with a mild strain in his right hamstring and now appears on the verge of a rehab assignment. The outfielder likely won't be able to return when he's first eligible Thursday, but he should be back with the Phillies within the next week or two.
