Angels' Brandon Marsh: Dealing with soreness
Rotowire
Angels manager Joe Maddon said Marsh is dealing with unspecified soreness after he stepped awkwardly on first base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
The report explains why Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday. The Angels will presumably look to stay away from Marsh in the season finale, and if so, he'll close his rookie campaign with a .255/.318/.357 slash line, two home runs and six stolen bases across 259 plate appearances.

Angels' Brandon Marsh: Plates two runs Friday
Rotowire
Marsh went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's win over the Mariners.
Marsh recently had a seven-game hitting streak in late September and was the main reason why the Angels escaped with the win here, as his two-run double in the top of the third was enough to seal the win for the Angels. The outfielder is hitting just .260 on the year, but that figure decreases to a mere .242 when factoring his 26 games (95 at-bats) from September onward, a span in which he's also struck out in 30.8 percent of his trips to the plate.

Angels' Brandon Marsh: Smacks second homer
Rotowire
Marsh went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox.
Marsh popped his second home run of the season in the eighth inning to provide the game-winning run for the Angels. It was his first home run since Aug. 25 and only his second multi-hit effort across 11 starts in September. Overall, Marsh has a mediocre .267/.328/.386 line across 192 plate appearances. However, he has a 39 percent strikeout rate and his batting average is being propped up by a .455 BABIP.

Angels' Brandon Marsh: Slumping in September
Rotowire
Marsh went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run Wednesday in the Angels' 8-5 loss to the Padres.
Though he delivered one of only two extra-base hits on the night against Padres ace Yu Darvish, Marsh has still been trending down to begin September. Through seven games on the month, Marsh has gone 3-for-22 with no walks and a 45.5 percent strikeout rate. With time running out for Mike Trout (calf) to make it back from the 60-day injured list, Marsh looks secure as the Angels' everyday center fielder, but the rookie's recent downturn could make him a cut candidate outside of AL-only leagues and deeper mixed leagues.

Angels' Brandon Marsh: Out of lineup
Rotowire
Marsh will not start Saturday's game against Texas.
Marsh has hit .375/.408/.542 over his last 20 games, though that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate, a number which suggests his hot streak isn't particularly sustainable. The strong run may have already come to an end, as he's gone just 1-for-10 with six strikeouts over his last three contests. Juan Lagares will take over for him in center field.

Rotowire

Angels' Brandon Marsh: Swipes first big-league bag
Rotowire
Marsh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
The rookie was one of three Angels to reach base more than once in the contest, and he notched his first stolen base as a major-leaguer following a sixth-inning walk. Marsh collected double-digit steals each year in the minors between 2017 and 2019, so he can certainly be an asset in that department for fantasy managers. Through three games with the Angels, he has gone 4-for-11 at the plate.
