Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Sean Murphy, Atlanta Braves catcher, placed on 10-day IL with fractured left middle finger sustained on May 11 during catcher's interference incident against Los Angeles Dodgers. Murphy recently returned from right hip labrum repair surgery and had played only 4 games (1-for-14, 6 strikeouts) before re-injury. Expected to miss at least 8 weeks. Recurring injury issues have plagued Murphy's recent seasons, limiting him to fewer than 95 games in both 2024 and 2025.
