Sean Murphy Out Against Twins
1 year agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy will take the day off on Monday as the team faces the Minnesota Twins. Murphy returned on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds from a hamstring injury and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk, but the Braves will give him another breather in the series opener against Minnesota. With Murphy on the bench, Travis d'Arnaud is doing the catching and batting fifth against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. In his first year with the Braves, the 28-year-old Murphy has become a must-start catching asset in fantasy, as he's currently hitting .290 (60-for-207) with 12 home runs, 14 doubles, 43 RBI and 33 runs scored in 59 games played. He should be back in there for the second game of the series against Minnesota on Tuesday.
