Marsh was removed from Friday's game against the Marlins with a bruised right elbow, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Marsh went 1-for-3 and scored twice before leaving the game in the seventh inning. It doesn't seem like he's going to miss an extended period of time because of his injury, though the Phillies may keep him on the bench for a game or two to allow any lingering soreness to subside.

Garcia (back) will begin his rehab assignment with Low-A Bradenton on Friday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Garcia landed on Triple-A Indianapolis' 7-day injured list April 17 due to lower-back tightness, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment. He has struggled in Triple-A this season, slashing .158/.186/.175 with three RBI and 17 strikeouts across 59 plate appearances.

Harris (quad) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The 25-year-old outfielder is sitting for a second straight game Friday after also missing one contest last week due quadriceps tightness. A trip to the injured list could be in store for Harris if the injury doesn't show improvement soon. Mauricio Dubon is picking up a start in center field Friday, opening up shortstop for Jorge Mateo.

Head was placed on High-A Beloit's 7-day injured list after suffering a wrist injury April 11, FishOnFirst.com reports.

The Marlins were initially hoping Head would avoid a stint on the IL, but he hasn't played in three weeks. The outfielder was off to a poor start to the season with Beloit, going 1-for-20 with a 2:4 BB:K over his first six games.

Gilbert went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored during a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

After striking out in his lone plate appearance during the matinee, Gilbert started in center field in the nightcap and racked up a season-high three hits, including a double in the sixth inning that led to him scoring. The 25-year-old outfielder has been productive for San Francisco while filling in for Harrison Bader (hamstring). Through 14 outings this season, Gilbert is slashing .279/.311/.442 with five RBI, five runs scored and two home runs in 46 plate appearances.

Florentino (ankle) is being promoted to High-A Greensboro, Bucco Bantr reports.

Florentino had technically been on a rehab assignment at Single-A, despite the fact he has never played above that level. The 19-year-old lefty hitter slashed .321/.500/.750 with three home runs, 11 walks and seven strikeouts in nine games at Single-A after returning from an ankle injury.

Gurriel is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs.

Gurriel has started to heat up with multiple hits in three of his last four games, but he'll get some rest as the Diamondbacks open a series at Wrigley Field. Jorge Barrosa will cover left field and bat ninth.

White got the start in center field and went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Tigers.

The 31-year-old was back in the starting lineup with Michael Harris still bothered by a quadriceps issue that will limit him to DH duties in the short term and could result in an IL stint. Since Harris was originally injured April 23, White has appeared in six of Atlanta's last seven games, going 3-for-17 (.176) with one homer, three runs and three RBI.

Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, one run scored and one walk Thursday against the Cardinals.

Reynolds doubled in consecutive plate appearances in the fourth and fifth innings to account for his production. He now has multiple hits in two of his last three starts, but he is still hitting only .200 with four RBI and six runs scored with no home runs across his last 10 starts. Overall, Reynolds is batting .246 with a .132 ISO (three homers) across 142 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Schwarber went 5-for-6 with two home runs, two doubles, three walks, three total runs and three total RBI across both games of Thursday's doubleheader sweep of the Giants.

Schwarber foreshadowed his impressive day at the plate with a solo home run in his first plate appearance during Game 1. He reached two more times (via walks) in that contest, then exploded for four hits (including another solo homer and two doubles) in the nightcap. Altogether, Schwarber reached base eight times in nine plate appearances during the twin bill, and he pushed his season batting average up from .190 all the way to .225. Schwarber has been plenty productive despite the tepid batting average, swatting 11 homers (fourth most in MLB) with 20 RBI and 21 runs. He's also drawn at least one walk in six straight games and is tied for eighth in the majors by taking 24 free passes on the campaign.
