Scouting Report: Sean Reynolds
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Sean Murphy, 31-year-old Atlanta Braves catcher, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 12, 2026, with a fractured left middle finger sustained on May 11 during a catcher's interference play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Walt Weiss indicated Murphy will miss at least 8 weeks, with additional recovery time needed before returning to full catching duties. This injury comes just 7 days after Murphy's season debut on May 5, following hip surgery recovery. Murphy was 1-for-14 with 6 strikeouts in his brief 4-game return. The injury continues a troubling pattern of health issues that have plagued Murphy since 2024, including the hip problems that required September 2025 surgery.
Strengths
- Veteran catcher with 8 MLB seasons of experience
- Previously signed to 6-year, $73 million extension by Braves in 2022
