Sean Murphy Still Absent Against Phillies
1 year agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hamstring) remains out of the team's lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Murphy will miss yet another game after injuring his right hamstring on Saturday, but he's expected to avoid a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old backstop has been great in his first year in Atlanta, hitting .287 (58-for-202) with 14 doubles, 12 home runs, 42 RBI and 33 runs scored in 234 plate appearances over 57 games. He's been one of the most valuable fantasy catchers, so hopefully he's able to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Travis d'Arnaud will do the catching on Tuesday and will hit cleanup against Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez.
