Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Idle against southpaw

Marsh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Marsh will bow out of the starting nine for the series finale as the Phillies face off against a lefty (Andrew Heaney) in a day game after a night game. Whit Merrifield will step in for Marsh in left field and bat eighth.
