Sean Murphy

Sean Murphy is batting seventh and catching Sunday vs the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy will get the nod behind the plate as the Braves look to clinch a playoff spot. He is hitting .098 in September.

Sean Murphy went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Braves' 3-0 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's victory, marking his 10th homer of the season. Despite a challenging year with a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .197, Murphy's power stroke remains a redeeming feature in his fantasy profile. His .283 wOBA and 10 home runs over 70 games suggest that while he may not offer consistent hitting, his ability to drive in runs and score occasionally can provide value in deeper fantasy leagues or formats that reward power from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate and low BABIP indicate potential volatility in his performance.

Sean Murphy went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Braves' 12-0 demolition of the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and two strikeouts, contributing significantly to the team's offensive explosion. Despite a challenging season with a batting average of just .209, Murphy's power display in this game hints at potential upside. His nine home runs in 63 games underscore his ability to impact the scoreline, though his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest continued volatility. Fantasy managers should view Murphy as a risky, yet potentially rewarding, option due to his power potential and primary role as a starting catcher.

Sean Murphy is out of the starting lineup for the Braves Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy will head to the bench for a day of rest Wednesday. Travis d’Arnaud will start behind the plate and bat fifth against the Rockies.

Sean Murphy went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the Braves' 7-2 victory over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included two walks and two runs scored, contributing significantly to the team's win. Despite a less-than-stellar season batting average of .219, Murphy's ability to draw walks and hit for power occasionally shines through, as evidenced by his eight home runs and .300 wOBA. Fantasy managers should view Murphy as a potential low-average, moderate-power option, particularly valuable in formats that reward walks or need depth at the catcher position. His performance in this game, while promising, should be seen as a bright spot in an otherwise mediocre season.
