Pushed back to Saturday Marsh is scheduled to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Rays after Friday's series opener was postponed due to severe weather in Kansas City, Anne Rogers of...
Impact Though Marsh wasn't able to take the hill Friday with rain descending on Kauffman Stadium, he'll still end up starting the Royals' first game out of the All-Star break as originally planned. The rookie has turned in a 7.00 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB in nine innings through his first two big-league starts and may need to show improvement Saturday to earn additional turns through the Kansas City rotation.

Respectable showing in loss Marsh (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks over five innings as the Royals fell 5-0 to the Twins. He struck out five.
Impact The rookie right-hander lasted 91 pitches (60 strikes) and kept Kansas City in the game, but Marsh's offense couldn't solve Pablo Lopez. It was a much better showing than he had in his big-league debut June 30, and with Zack Greinke (shoulder) being the most recent Royals starter to land on the IL, Marsh figures to remain in the rotation after the All-Star break.

Picks up another start Marsh is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Twins in Minnesota, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marsh will make his second straight turn through the Kansas City rotation despite struggling in his MLB debut against the Dodgers last Friday, when he struck out five over four innings while allowing five earned runs on six hits and four walks. With Jordan Lyles battling an illness, the Royals have temporarily expanded to a six-man rotation, but Marsh could find himself as the odd man out if Lyles is able to pitch Thursday in Cleveland, as anticipated.

Knocked around in debut Marsh (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over four-plus innings to take the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Marsh drew a tough assignment for his debut, and it took Mookie Betts just five pitches to welcome the right-hander to the majors. Betts also homered in the third inning and added an RBI single in the fourth after Marsh ran into more trouble. He had a combined 4.62 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 62.1 innings between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha prior to his debut, and it's likely Marsh will be heading back to the minors soon, as he was filling in for Jordan Lyles (illness).

Officially promoted The Royals recalled Marsh ahead of his start Friday against the Dodgers.
Impact Friday marks the 25-year-old righty's MLB debut after putting up a 2.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 15 innings with Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will be filling in for Jordan Lyles -- who was scratched from his scheduled start due to illness -- and he will most likely return to the minors after his spot start. James McArthur was optioned to Omaha in a corresponding move.

To make MLB debut Friday Marsh will be called up to start for the Royals on Friday versus the Dodgers, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Jordan Lyles was supposed to take that turn, but he's been scratched because of an illness. Marsh, a second-round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft out of Arizona State University, has pitched to a rather uninspiring 4.62 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB in 62.1 innings (14 starts) this season between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha. He is not a recommended fantasy streamer against Los Angeles.

Sent to Double-A Marsh was optioned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Friday.
Impact Marsh spent a brief amount of time in Triple-A toward the end of last season, but he will return to Double-A to begin the 2023 campaign. He logged a 7.32 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through 114.1 Double-A innings last year.
