Phillies’ Brandon Marsh set to resume baseball activities next month after left wrist surgery

Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is scheduled to resume baseball activities next month after a minor, elective surgery on his left wrist in October, the team’s official club release reported.

Marsh underwent carpal box excision surgery on his left wrist on Oct. 14 in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the procedure was described as smoothing out a bony outgrowth that had produced symptoms since Spring Training.

According to the report, the wrist issue did not stop Marsh from playing through parts of the season, including on his way to earning a starting spot on the National League All-Star team in July, before he later struggled during the second half.

The organization said recovery from the surgery took about three weeks, and Marsh has already resumed cardio workouts. He typically begins baseball work in December.

The club added that Marsh is expected to be a full participant when Spring Training begins.
