Scouting Report: Sean Bouchard
Chicago Cubs | RF
Overall
Summary
Sean Murphy, 31-year-old catcher for the Atlanta Braves, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger sustained on May 11 during catcher's interference when Dodgers batter Hyeseong Kim's swing contacted Murphy's glove. Murphy will miss at least 8 weeks according to manager Walt Weiss. This is a significant setback as Murphy had just returned to action on May 5 after undergoing hip surgery in September 2025, appearing in only 4 games (1-for-14) before the injury. Injuries have been a recurring issue for Murphy in recent seasons, limiting him to fewer than 95 games in both 2024 and 2025.
Strengths
- Veteran catcher with 8 professional MLB seasons
- Previously signed 6-year, $73 million extension with Braves in 2022
