Tom Murphy Stats

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (shoulder) will have season-ending shoulder surgery. Murphy was injured in early May and then had a setback. The Mariners were hoping to get him back after he started ramping things up, and they gave him a platelet-rich plasma injection to try to speed up the healing process, but it didn't end up working out. It's a shame, since the 31-year-old backstop had gone 10-for-33 (.303) with a solo home run in 14 games before his injury. Murphy can now be dropped in all single-season fantasy formats. The Mariners will continue to alternate between Cal Raleigh and Luis Torrens behind the plate the rest of the way with Murphy's 2022 season officially over.

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (shoulder) has been increasing his activity level and is hoping to be activated from the injured list on the team's current road trip. Murphy has been working out with his typical intensity while hitting off a tee and playing catch before games. "He's moving along," manager Scott Servais said. "I think the plan was to start taking some more swings in the cage and catch a bullpen today or tomorrow. He's working really hard to get back as soon as he can. I'm pretty optimistic we might see him in Boston at some point." Once the 31-year-old backstop is activated, he's expected to split time with Luis Torrens behind the dish. Cal Raleigh is likely to be sent back to the minors.

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy had his best game of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday, going 2-for-3 with two home runs. A solo shot and a two-run shot, they both came off Madison Bumgarner. Murphy now has 11 homers on the season. Despite the strong performance, Murphy is not worthy of consideration in fantasy. He has been splitting time behind the plate with Cal Raleigh, and he has a .690 OPS on the season.
