Sean Murphy Back In Action Thursday
6 months agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (elbow) is back behind the dish and is hitting sixth for the Braves on Thursday against the Washington Nationals and rookie left-hander Mitchell Parker. Murphy took a pitch to his right elbow in Tuesday's contest against the Nats and was held out on Wednesday as a precaution. The former A's backstop was injured in the first game of the year due to a pretty serious oblique injury and didn't return to action until May 27. Since coming off the injured list, Murphy has gone 4-for-19 (.211) with no homers, a double, three RBI and five strikeouts in six games played. He has yet to settle in but is Atlanta's primary catcher when healthy and made his first All-Star team in his first year with the Braves in 2023, when he hit .251/.365/.478 with career-highs in homers (21) and RBI (68).
