Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh, who started the season strong with All-Star status, has seen significant decline in performance as of late July. His OPS has dropped to.799, with a concerning.156 batting average during July. Manager Don Mattingly has opted to bench Marsh against left-handers, revealing deeper issues for a team already seeking additional outfield talent ahead of the trade deadline.
