2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Marsh was a pleasant surprise for the Royals in 2025 winning a career-best 9 games with a 15.3% K-BB% until a bum shoulder shut him down later in the season. Marsh ended up needing labrum surgery on his throwing shoulder in October and is extremely unlikely to resume pitching in regular season games in 2026. Perhaps Marsh could do what Kris Bubic did previously and come back as a reliever toward the end of the season to prepare for 2027, but you can safely ignore Marsh for your draft plans for this coming season due to the extensive rehab process required for pitchers requiring labrum surgery.

Signed a one-year contract with the Royals in February of 2025.
Officially placed on IL
The Royals placed Marsh (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Analysis
Marsh missed all of 2025 due to shoulder problems, and after undergoing surgery in November to address the issue, he's expected to miss the entire 2026 campaign as well. His move to the 60-day IL clears space on the 40-man roster for Mitch Spence, whom the Royals acquired in a trade with the Athletics on Thursday.

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.

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.
