2025 Fantasy Outlook
Marsh captured a spot in the Royals' Opening Day rotation with a strong Cactus League showing and went on to post a 3.63 ERA and 61:19 K:BB across 67 innings covering his first 12 starts of the season. After that, however, he collected a 5.52 ERA the rest of the way while also spending some time in the minors and in the bullpen. Marsh greatly improved his control in 2024 in cutting his walk rate to 7.1 percent, but it seemed to come at the expense of bat-missing as his strikeout rate also fell to 22.5 percent. The 26-year-old is a fly ball pitcher who has struggled with home runs and hard contact, and his xERA has been worse than his ERA in both seasons (which isn't great considering his career ERA is 4.96). Marsh will have to fight for a rotation spot on an ascending Kansas City team. Read Past Outlooks
Snares victory Sunday
Marsh (9-9) picked up the win Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks across five innings. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
Marsh stepped into a starting role for the Royals' regular-season finale and came away with the victory. The right-hander yielded a homer to Gio Urshela in the third inning but was otherwise excellent. Marsh finishes the 2024 regular season with a 4.53 ERA and a 123:39 K:BB across 129 innings. He's expected to move back to the bullpen for postseason play.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possibly on trade block
The Royals could consider dangling Marsh in trade talks for offensive help, Will Sammon and Katie Woo of The Athletic report.
ANALYSIS
Marsh, 26, had an uneven 2024 season, finishing with a 4.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 123:39 K:BB across 129 regular-season frames. He did greatly improve his control this campaign and has been a pretty reliable bat-misser during his pro career. That, along with team control through 2029, should garner interest if the Royals do indeed shop him.
