Sean Murphy Set For Rehab Assignment With High-A Rome
2 days agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (ribs) is set to start a rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Friday. The 30-year-old has caught up to five innings so far during minor-league games. He has been sidelined since early March with a fractured rib and is eyeing a mid-April return. It's unclear how many rehab games/reps Murphy will need to play before he rejoins the Braves. Murphy struggled last season, slashing .193/.284/.352 with 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 19 runs, and a .636 OPS over 264 plate appearances in 2024. Drake Baldwin will continue to handle catching duties while Murphy is sidelined. Baldwin is off to a slow start, hitting .091 (1-for-11) to start the season, but has plenty of fantasy upside after slashing .298/.407/.484 with 12 home runs and 55 RBI over 72 games with Triple-A Gwinnett in 2024.
