Sean Murphy Still Not Ready To Return
1 year agoAtlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hamstring) remains out of action on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Murphy will miss his fifth straight game, but the good news is that he was able to pinch hit on Thursday. Travis d'Arnaud will continue to do the catching duties while batting sixth on Saturday against Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft. Murphy apparently has been feeling better, so hopefully he'll be back in there on Sunday to face Cincinnati. The 28-year-old backstop has been extremely productive in his first year in Atlanta to this point, slashing .286/.383/.532 with a .915 OPS, 12 home runs, 14 doubles, 42 RBI and 33 runs scored in 235 trips to the plate over 58 games.
