Tom Murphy To Ramp Up Baseball Activities
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.
