Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Sean Murphy, Atlanta Braves catcher, was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 11) with a fractured left middle finger sustained during catcher's interference in Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Murphy had just returned from hip surgery rehabilitation and was making his season debut on May 5. He was 1-for-14 in four games before the injury. The fracture was discovered via X-ray after initial assessment suggested he would be fine. This marks another setback in a pattern of recurring injuries that has limited Murphy to fewer than 95 games in both 2024 and 2025.
