Marsh hurt his right hamstring while bowling in the first innings at Brisbane and was replaced by batsman Joe Burns for the ongoing third Test at Melbourne.
He was hopeful of playing the Sydney Test, but felt a niggle while running after play on the first day in Melbourne.
"Mitchell Marsh had scans on his injured hamstring this morning after reporting some soreness yesterday," team physio Alex Kountouris said.
"The scans confirm that he has suffered a setback in his rehab and will not be available for the Sydney Test match. Our focus for Mitchell will now be on his return to one-day cricket as we lead into the tri-series."
