Tom Murphy News
San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) is expected to miss the next four to six weeks with a left knee sprain, according to manager Bob Melvin. Murphy suffered the injury in Saturday's 14-3 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies and now will be out for the next couple of weeks after undergoing an MRI on Sunday. The veteran catcher was hitting just .118 with one home run and two RBI in 13 games this season. With Patrick Bailey (concussion) also on the injured list, look for Blake Sabol to get more opportunities behind the plate.
Free-agent catcher Tom Murphy and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year deal worth $8 million on Monday. Murphy, a former third-round pick in 2012 by the Colorado Rockies, spent the last three years with the Seattle Seahawks. In that time, he hit .237/.324/.418 with 20 home runs and 52 RBI in 526 plate appearances over 158 games played. He only appeared in 47 games for the M's in 2023 but hit .290 (42-for-145) with eight home runs and 17 RBI. The 32-year-old veteran backstop will hope to stay healthy in 2024 with the Giants, where he's expected to serve as the backup to Patrick Bailey. Murphy has a career .244/.313/.456 slash line with 48 home runs and 126 RBI in 314 games during his eight seasons in the big leagues with the Rockies and Mariners.
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (thumb) was "given clearance to take baseball activities to the next level" by Dr. Donald Sheridan, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Murphy suffered a left-thumb sprain earlier in August. "Some of this is just going to be a pain discomfort tolerance thing," Hollander said, adding that surgery is not on the table. It's still unclear how long Murphy will be sidelined. The 32-year-old backstop is making good progress, but it remains to be seen if he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues. Cal Raleigh remains Seattle's primary catcher, but Murphy has hit a strong .290 (42-for-145) with eight home runs in limited duty in 2023.
