PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Slumping outfielder Brandon Marsh was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday because of a strained right hamstring.
Philadelphia made the move retroactive to Thursday, a day after Marsh attempted to field a ball hit by San Francisco that took an unexpected bounce and he felt discomfort in the back of his right knee extending into the hamstring.u200b
Marsh is hitless in his last 31 at-bats.
“He wasn’t getting worse, he just wasn’t improving, and he can’t run at 100%,” manager Rob Thomson said. “This is the day we can backdate him the furthest, so we decided to do it.
