Mashes second homer Marchan went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-4 win over the White Sox.

Impact Marchan crushed a rare homer Sunday, his second of the season and the ninth of his career. The switch-hitting backstop's playing time as Philadelphia's backup catcher has been scarce in 2026, and he's slashing a pitiful .103/.141/.191 with six RBI, one walk and four runs scored across 71 plate appearances.

Back in reserve role Marchan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact On the bench for the second day in a row, Marchan has moved back into the No. 2 role at catcher after J.T. Realmuto was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. Before Realmuto's return, Marchan had started five of the Phillies' prior six games and went 1-for-16 at the plate over that stretch.

Role to increase sans Realmuto Marchan will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Marchan will get the call behind the plate for the Phillies' first game following top backstop J.T. Realmuto's (back) placement on the injured list. Though the Phillies called up Garrett Stubbs from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide another option behind the plate, the playing time at catcher will likely tilt in Marchan's favor while Realmuto is on the shelf. Marchan has gone just 2-for-31 at the dish this season, but he's made one of those hits count by slugging a two-run home run.

Homers in first game Marchan went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and was also a hit by a pitch in Monday's 13-2 victory over the Phillies.

Impact Marchan made his first appearance of the season to give J.T. Realmuto a rare game off, and he made the most of that chance. He was one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise forgettable game for the Phillies, accounting for the team's only runs with his two-run shot in the fifth inning off of Foster Griffin. The 27-year-old had just two homers in 42 games last year, so he's already halfway to that mark to begin 2026.

Secures Opening Day roster spot General manager Dave Dombrowski said Sunday that Marchan has won a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Ty Daubert of PhilliesNation.com reports.

Impact Marchan was able to win the backup catcher job over Garrett Stubbs, whom Dombrowski said will be designated for assignment if the Phillies are unable to find a trade partner by Wednesday. J.T. Realmuto re-signed with the Phillies on a three-year deal over the winter and should continue to see the overwhelming majority of the starts behind the dish, but Marchan could see at least a slight uptick in opportunities in 2026. Despite staying healthy for the entire 2025 campaign, Marchan was limited to just 118 plate appearances with the big club and slashed .210/.282/.305 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs.

Gets deal for 2026 Marchan signed a one-year contract with the Phillies on Friday.

Impact Marchan posted just a .587 OPS across 118 plate appearances with the Phillies in 2025, but the team will opt to keep him around for another year. He will likely have to compete for a place on the big-league roster during spring training.
