The Braves announced that catcher Sean Murphy<\/a> has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 11th, with a fractured left middle finger. Fellow catcher Sandy Le\u00f3n<\/a> was signed to a big league deal to replace Murphy on the roster. The club also selected the contract of outfielder Jos\u00e9 Az\u00f3car<\/a> and optioned infielder Jim Jarvis<\/a>. They had two 40-man vacancies, which have now\u00a0 been filled by these moves.<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s injury appears to stem from a catcher\u2019s interference plan in Sunday\u2019s game. Hyeseong Kim<\/a> swung at a pitch and made contact with Murphy\u2019s glove, as seen in this video<\/a> from MLB.com. After the game, manager Walt Weiss told Mark Bowman of MLB.com<\/a> that Murphy would be going for X-rays but would probably be fine. It now seems that a fracture has been discovered, so Murphy will head to the IL.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how long Murphy will be out of action but it\u2019s a frustrating setback nonetheless. Injuries have been a recurring theme for him in recent seasons. He was limited to fewer than 95 games in both 2024 and 2025 due to various ailments. One persistent issue has been hip problems, which eventually led to surgery in September of last year. He was rehabbing from that surgery until about a week ago. Now after just four games, he\u2019s back on the shelf.<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Braves announced that catcher Sean Murphy has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5,6014,4,34903,656],"class_list":["post-697146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-baseball","tag-jose-azocar","tag-mlb","tag-sandy-leon","tag-sean-murphy"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116562784660888102","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
