Brandon Marsh's 2025 season with the Philadelphia Phillies has taken a turn for the worse, as he now finds himself on the 10-day injured list due to a knee strain. Following a dismal start with a .095 batting average and a frustrating 0-for-31 slump, Marsh's situation has worsened with a hamstring issue that forced him to leave a game while rehabbing at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. As he struggles to regain his form, Johan Rojas has stepped up as a strong contender for the center field position, boasting a .310 batting average in his last ten games.

With Marsh's health in question, Rojas's performance could relegate Marsh to a bench role upon his return. Last season, Marsh showed promise, hitting .249 with 16 home runs, but his effectiveness against left-handed pitchers remains a significant concern, having only faced them 16 times before injury struck. The Phillies may face tough decisions upon Marsh's return, balancing his past credentials against Rojas's current momentum.
