Tom Murphy To Ramp Up Baseball Activities
1 year agoSeattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (thumb) was "given clearance to take baseball activities to the next level" by Dr. Donald Sheridan, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Murphy suffered a left-thumb sprain earlier in August. "Some of this is just going to be a pain discomfort tolerance thing," Hollander said, adding that surgery is not on the table. It's still unclear how long Murphy will be sidelined. The 32-year-old backstop is making good progress, but it remains to be seen if he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues. Cal Raleigh remains Seattle's primary catcher, but Murphy has hit a strong .290 (42-for-145) with eight home runs in limited duty in 2023.
