Sean Murphy went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, four total RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Murphy now has three homers over his last five games, going 9-for-18 with seven RBI and seven runs scored during that span. The veteran backstop is taking advantage of some regular playing time lately, and he should continue to see plenty of at-bats as long as he's producing like this.
Sean Murphy went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Murphy has really found his groove at the plate. The veteran backstop has homered twice over his last three games, adding two doubles, three RBI, and four runs scored while going 6-for-11 overall in that stretch.
Sean Murphy went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, one RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Murphy always plays tremendous defense behind the plate, but he had done next to nothing with bat this season before Wednesday's game. Murphy had played in just 13 games due to injury and sharing time behind the plate with Drake Baldwin. Still, Murphy entered this game 8-for-44 with no homers and one RBI on the year. Wednesday, he dialed in and showed some of what made him an All-Star in 2023. If Murphy can continue to swing the bat like this, he will likely be in line for more of the catching load while Baldwin is deployed at DH more often.
The Braves have activated catcher Sean Murphy (finger) from the injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Murphy has been on the injured list since May 12 with a fractured left middle finger, but has been activated as part of a flurry of roster moves on Monday. The veteran backstop appeared in just four games before hitting the shelf.
Braves manager Walt Weiss said Sean Murphy will require a "significant number of at-bats" on his rehab assignment.
Fantasy Impact
