San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) has continued his rehab after feeling a pop in his knee after trying to block a wild pitch back on May 4. Murphy started hitting and running progressions on Saturday, and manager Bob Melvin said the hope is that the team will have Murphy back in September. "It's taken him some time," Melvin said. "He doesn't feel it hitting, he doesn't feel it throwing, it's just getting down in the catcher's position that's he's having some trouble with it. He's pretty frustrated with it, too." The 33-year-old was put on the 10-day injured list on May 5, and an MRI exam showed a Grade 1-2 sprain. He was moved to the 60-day IL on May 15 and received a platelet-rich plasma injection on July 30. Murphy hit .118 with a homer in his first 13 games with the Giants and will likely serve as Patrick Bailey's backup when/if he returns to the big-league roster next month.

Tom Murphy Has Resumed Baseball Activity
San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) has resumed baseball activity and is beginning to ramp up his baserunning. Murphy felt a pop in his knee after trying to block a wild pitch in the team's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on May 4 and was put on the 10-day injured list the following day. An MRI exam showed a Grade 1-2 left-knee sprain. Murphy was moved to the 60-day injured list on May 15. He was signed to a two-year, $8.25 million deal in December of 2023 for catching depth in San Francisco. The 33-year-old veteran hit just .118 with a home run in his first 13 games with the Giants before getting injured and will return to a backup role behind Patrick Bailey whenever he comes off the IL. Curt Casali has been serving as the team's No. 2 backstop since Murphy went down.

Tom Murphy Expected To Miss 4-6 Weeks With Knee Injury
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.

Tom Murphy Agrees To Two-Year Deal With Giants
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.

Tom Murphy To Ramp Up Baseball Activities
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.

Tom Murphy Starting On Saturday
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy will start and bat eighth on Saturday against Cleveland. Cal Raleigh was behind home plate the last two games and collected two hits and two RBI in eight at-bats. However, he won't be in the starting lineup for this one, although he'll presumably return on Sunday to cap off the series with the Guardians. Of course, Murphy will have a tough time filling the void left by Raleigh, so fantasy managers should look for another catcher on Saturday evening.

Tom Murphy Back In Lineup
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (forearm) is batting seventh on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds. Murphy will be behind the plate for the Mariners. He had some tightness in his forearm earlier in the week but is apparently good to go. The backstop will be behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Tom Murphy Scratched On Monday
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (forearm) was scratched ahead of Monday's Cactus League matchup versus the Milwaukee Brewers. It sounds like the veteran catcher was pulled ahead of this game due to left forearm tightness. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Murphy should be fine for Opening Day. However, Cam Raleigh has stepped up and earned the starting catcher spot in Seattle. Murphy is probably only worth looking at in two-catcher leagues.

Tom Murphy Homers Friday Night
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy went 3-for-3 with a home run and three runs scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Cactus League play. Murphy hadn't done much in his first three spring games, but he broke out at the plate on Friday. The 31-year-old backstop is returning after having season-ending surgery on his shoulder last June. He was hitting .303/.439/.455 with a homer, one RBI and nine runs scored in 14 games at the time of his injury. With Murphy out, Cal Raleigh stepped up with 27 home runs as Seattle's primary catcher in 2022, so Murphy is set for backup duties for the M's to begin the 2023 season. Those in two-catcher leagues shouldn't ignore Murphy, though, but he also hasn't played in more than 97 games in a single MLB season.

Tom Murphy Will Have Season-Ending Surgery
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.
