Sean Murphy Out Against Brewers
4 months agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy will get the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Travis d'Arnaud will do the catching for right-hander Bryce Elder and will hit sixth in the batting order against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea. The Braves have been careful with Murphy's workload behind the plate this year after he missed extended time early in the season due to injury. After having the best year of his young career in 2023 in his first year with the Braves, he's disappointed in 2024 to the tune of a .221/.307/.375 slash line with a below-average .682 OPS and six home runs in 136 at-bats. However, he's looked a bit better since the All-Star break, going 7-for-27 (.259) with a homer and two runs scored in nine games. d'Arnaud has been the better fantasy play this year, though, clubbing 11 long balls and batting .264 (56-for-212).
