Tom Murphy Has Resumed Baseball Activity
5 months agoSan Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) has resumed baseball activity and is beginning to ramp up his baserunning. Murphy felt a pop in his knee after trying to block a wild pitch in the team's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on May 4 and was put on the 10-day injured list the following day. An MRI exam showed a Grade 1-2 left-knee sprain. Murphy was moved to the 60-day injured list on May 15. He was signed to a two-year, $8.25 million deal in December of 2023 for catching depth in San Francisco. The 33-year-old veteran hit just .118 with a home run in his first 13 games with the Giants before getting injured and will return to a backup role behind Patrick Bailey whenever he comes off the IL. Curt Casali has been serving as the team's No. 2 backstop since Murphy went down.
