Tom Murphy Placed On 60-Day Injured List
2 days agoSan Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (back) will miss at least the first two months of the season after landing on the 60-day IL to start the season. The veteran was limited to just 13 games with the Giants last year due to a sprained MCL, but he was expected to be in the mix as a backup option behind Patrick Bailey this season. He dealt with back spasms early in training camp and was diagnosed with a middle-back disk herniation. With Murphy out for a while, Sam Huff will serve as the Giants' primary backup catcher to start the season after beating out Max Stassi, who will start the season in Triple-A. Huff hit .313 with two home runs and a .444 wOBA in his 15 spring training games.
