Optioned to Triple-A
The Phillies optioned Marchan to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
J.T. Realmuto (knee) was activated from the injured list Saturday, squeezing Marchan off the big-league roster. The 25-year-old backstop owns a solid .894 OPS through 56 plate appearances with the Phillies, though he'll remain in the minors as long as Realmuto and Garrett Stubbs are both active.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
Marchan made his debut as a 21-year-old back in 2020, but after a three-game cameo that season and a run of 20 games in 2021, he's yet to return to the majors. Marchan was never going to be anything more than the third catcher in Philadelphia behind workhorse J.T. Realmuto and clubhouse DJ Garrett Stubbs last season, and with both big-leaguers remaining healthy, Marchan was never called on. He did, however, show signs in his age-24 season that he should have a future in the majors, even if that's only as a backup. Surgery on his hamate bone delayed his season debut until the end of May, but in 51 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, he hit .297/.391/.440, good for a 113 wRC+. He only homered twice, giving him a grand total of eight across his eight professional seasons, but he also struck out just 9.7% of the time, a mark that looks even better next to his 11.6% walk rate. With both Realmuto and Stubbs still around, though, Marchan lacks a path to playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Joining Phillies in Toronto
Marchan will replace J.T. Realmuto for the series in Toronto, reports Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
Realmuto is unable to travel to Canada due to the country's COVID-19 vaccine requirement, giving Marchan the chance to make his season debut. The 23-year-old has posted a .246/.333/.424 line across 135 plate appearances in the minors this season. The Phillies are only in Toronto for two games and Marchan will join Garrett Stubbs as the two options behind the plate.
