Sean Murphy Getting Monday Off
1 year agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy isn't in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Travis d'Arnaud will catch right-hander Charlie Morton and will bat fifth in the lineup against Angels right-hander Griffin Canning. Murphy also received Saturday's game off amidst a cold streak to begin the second half of the season. The 28-year-old has been one of the most valuable fantasy backstops in his first year in Atlanta, but he's gone just 4-for-38 (.105) with no homers, a double, three RBI and four runs scored in 10 games since the All-Star break to drop his season line to .278/.376/.533 with a .909 OPS, 17 long balls, 58 RBI and 46 runs scored.
