PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh will resume baseball activities next month, following a minor, elective surgery on his left wrist in October.
Marsh had carpal box excision surgery on his left wrist on Oct. 14 by Dr. Donald Sheridan in Scottsdale, Ariz. Essentially, Marsh had a bony outgrowth smoothed out. He had experienced symptoms from it since Spring Training, playing with it on his way to earning a starting spot on the National League All-Star team in July, followed by a second-half slump.
The surgery is expected to prevent future flareups.
Recovery from the surgery was about three weeks. Marsh has already resumed cardio workouts. He typically begins his baseball work in December.
He will be a full participant when Spring Training begins.
