Player Outlook
Sean Murphy strained his oblique on Opening Day last season and wound up missing more than eight weeks of action. It turned out to be a harbinger of doom, as the 30-year-old suffered through his worst season with a lowly .636 OPS and sub-.200 batting average. Dating back to the 2023 All-Star break, Murphy is slashing just .181/.294/.323 across 432 plate appearances. He also has a 37 percent hard-hit rate over that stretch, which is down significantly from his career 42.4 percent mark. A spike in his ground ball rate (53.9 percent) also conspired to hold Murphy back in 2024. He's young enough and talented enough to return to being a starting-caliber fantasy catcher in 2025, and Murphy's playing time outlook went up after Atlanta declined Travis d'Arnaud's option and he wound up signing with the Angels.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Homers twice in win

    Rotowire
    Murphy went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rays. Murphy got Atlanta on the board with a solo home run in the seventh inning and then tied things up with another blast in the eighth. Since making his season debut Tuesday, the 30-year-old has gone 5-for-15 with three long balls, six RBI and four runs scored across 18 plate appearances. It's a small sample, but early signs point to a potential bounce-back campaign if he can remain healthy.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Sitting Friday

    Rotowire
    Murphy is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays. Murphy will get a chance to rest his legs after making three consecutive starts behind the plate following his return from the injured list. He's 3-for-11 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and five strikeouts against one walk so far this season. Rookie Drake Baldwin is set to return to the lineup to catch for Bryce Elder in the series opener in Tampa Bay.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Logs four RBI in 2025 debut

    Rotowire
    Murphy went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Phillies. Murphy started the season on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured rib, but he was activated from the IL on Sunday and made his 2025 debut Tuesday. He didn't show any rust in his first at-bat, cranking a three-run homer off Zack Wheeler to left field in the second inning, and Murphy drove in a fourth run on an RBI single in the sixth frame to reduce Atlanta's deficit to one. Murphy is looking to improve on his 2024 campaign, which he finished with a slash line of .193/.284/.352 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI across 264 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Reinstated from injured list

    Rotowire
    Atlanta reinstated Murphy (rib) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. The 30-year-old was expected to finish up his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday before likely rejoining Atlanta on Tuesday, but the club elected to activated him early after Sunday's game against the Marlins was postponed. Murphy will take over as the club's primary backstop, and prospect Drake Baldwin is set to fill the backup job after Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Could be activated Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Murphy (ribs) is slated to play nine innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday and could be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Murphy kicked off a rehab stint with Gwinnett on March 31 and has gone 2-for-10 with a homer and two RBI through three games. If he's able to complete Sunday's game without any setbacks, the veteran catcher could be back behind the plate for Atlanta's series opener versus the Phillies on Tuesday. Prospect Drake Baldwin has been starting at catcher in Murphy's absence, but he has struggled to a .291 OPS through 25 plate appearances and may soon head back to the minors.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Murphy (rib) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Previous reports suggested that Murphy would likely start his rehab assignment at High-A Rome on Friday, but Atlanta has pushed him up a few days. Murphy will be eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Friday and would seem to have a shot to return then, although the club has not revealed a target date for their starting catcher. Drake Baldwin has been serving as the club's primary backstop to begin the season with Murphy out.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Nearing rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Murphy (ribs) will likely begin a rehab assignment at High-A Rome on Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Murphy stayed back at Atlanta's spring training complex in Florida to continue rehabbing his fractured rib, and he's worked up to catching five innings in minor-league games. It's unclear how many reps the team would like the 30-year-old backstop to get during his rehab assignment, but he seems to still be on track for a return to Atlanta around mid-April.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: IL move official

    Rotowire
    Atlanta placed Murphy (ribs) on the 10-day injured list Monday. Murphy was ruled out 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a fractured rib on his left side in early March, so the move to the IL is procedural. With the 30-year-old sidelined for the start of the season, prospect Drake Baldwin recently had his contract selected and is expected to begin the campaign as Atlanta's primary catcher.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Out 4-to-6 weeks with fractured rib

    Rotowire
    Murphy will be out for 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed Monday with a fractured rib on his left side, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Murphy suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Friday, and he will need a stint on the injured list to begin the season. The door is now open for top prospect Drake Baldwin to begin the season as Atlanta's starting catcher. However, Baldwin is not on the 40-man roster, so the club could go with Chadwick Tromp and one of Sandy Leon or Curt Casali if they're confident Murphy's absence will be relatively brief.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Expecting rebound in 2025

    Rotowire
    Murphy believes the oblique injury he suffered Opening Day last season prevented him from ever getting comfortable with his swing, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "It was a combination of a bunch of things," Murphy said this week. "Missing that much time at the beginning, that's not how I wanted to begin the season. I'm not sure my swing ever felt correct coming off the oblique, not that I was in any pain or hurt. Some things just fell off, and I never caught up and found a way to adjust." The 30-year-old backstop roared out to an .843 OPS with 21 homers and 68 RBI -- all career highs -- over 108 games in his first season for Atlanta in 2023, but Murphy's production cratered in 2024 through 72 contests after he returned from the oblique strain. The team seems confident that the poor performance was an aberration, however, as Travis d'Arnaud was allowed to leave in free agency, leaving only Chadwick Tromp, Curt Casali and prospect Drake Baldwin competing for the backup job in camp. Murphy still has four more seasons left on the six-year, $73 million contract he signed in 2022, with Atlanta holding a $15 million club option for 2029, so he will be given every chance to regain his previous offensive form.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Pops 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Murphy went 1-for-3 with two-run homer in Friday's 3-0 victory over Kansas City. The Atlanta backstop opened the game's scoring with a 372-foot, two-run shot off Brady Singer in the fourth inning, marking just his fourth September hit in 43 plate appearances. This is the fourth time Murphy has reached double-digit homers in his six-year career. Overall, the 29-year-old is slashing .197/.284/.360 with 18 runs scored and 25 RBI in 257 plate appearances across 70 games.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Likely to lose work to d'Arnaud

    Rotowire
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Murphy had started behind the plate in five of the past six games, but he'll likely be in store for a role reduction after Travis d'Arnaud (personal) returned from the paternity list Thursday. Despite getting more consistent at-bats of late, Murphy is still hitting just .080 in September and a career-worst .203 on the season.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Losing work to d'Arnaud

    Rotowire
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Murphy has now started just three times in nine games and may be moving into the shorter side of a timeshare at catcher with Travis d'Arnaud. The 29-year-old backstop has been a major disappointment in the second season of a six-year, $73 million contract, having submitted a career-low .685 OPS through 210 plate appearances for Atlanta.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Resting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies. Murphy will give way behind the plate to Travis d'Arnaud after going 1-for-2 with a home run, two RBI and two walks during Friday's win.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Idle Thursday

    Rotowire
    Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup Thursday against the Phillies. Murphy has gone 3-for-18 with eight strikeouts over his last five games, and he'll now take a seat Thursday while Travis d'Arnaud catches for Charlie Morton.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Retreating to bench Monday

    Rotowire
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins. Travis d'Arnaud returned to the lineup Saturday after missing about a week of action with a wrist injury, so Murphy appears set to move back into more a timeshare at catcher after he had started behind the plate in six of the past seven contests. Murphy has posted a .633 OPS in August, roughly in line with his disappointing .665 mark for the season.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Getting Saturday off

    Rotowire
    Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports. Murphy has gone 4-for-23 with nine strikeouts over his last seven games. He'll get a breather Saturday as Travis d'Arnaud makes his return from a wrist injury that caused him to sit out for a week.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: On bench Saturday

    Rotowire
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels. Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud have been alternating starts behind the plate recently and after Murphy started Friday, it'll be d'Arnaud's turn to catch Saturday. Murphy missed the first two months of the season with a strained oblique but has logged a .228/.315/.399 slash line with seven home runs in 178 plate appearances since returning.

  • Braves' Sean Murphy: Receiving rest day

    Rotowire
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants. Murphy will take a seat for the series finale after he caught all nine innings of Wednesday's 13-2 win while going 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Travis d'Arnaud will replace Murphy behind the plate and bat fifth.
