The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy spent the first three months on the injured list while completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery before being activated in late June. Over 14 appearances out of the Boston bullpen, Murphy submitted a 3.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 20.2 innings while being used mainly in lower-leverage spots. His demotion likely has less to do with his performance than it does Boston's desire to bring in a fresh arm, as Murphy had pitched three of the past five days while covering three innings in total. Boston called up left-hander Jovani Moran from Triple-A to replace Murphy in the bullpen.

Murphy walked two and struck out two over two scoreless innings in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy, who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday, made his first appearance for the Red Sox since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April of 2024. The southpaw will remain in a low-leverage role as he works off the rust.

The Red Sox reinstated Murphy (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is ready to return to the the Red Sox's bullpen after fully recovering from April 2024 Tommy John surgery. He posted a 4.91 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 14.2 innings during his rehab assignment. In corresponding moves, Luis Guerrero (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list and Justin Slaten (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Murphy (elbow) will head to High-A Greenville to potentially work towards a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2024 and could be ready to rejoin the Red Sox after the All-Star break.

The Red Sox placed Murphy (elbow) on the 60-day injured list, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster. Murphy has been throwing off a mound and could be an option for the Red Sox by the time his 60 days are up, or close to that point. He's on the mend from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent April 10 of last year.

Murphy (elbow) was thrown two bullpen sessions early this spring, Christopher Smith of MassLive reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy has thrown a 10-pitch and a 15-pitch bullpen this spring as he works his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last April. The southpaw missed all of last season due to the procedure after throwing 47.2 innings over 20 appearances out of the bullpen for the Red Sox as a rookie in 2023. Smith said Sunday that he's currently aiming to throw to live hitters April 10 and that there's a possibility he could be ready for game action during the first half of the campaign. He added that he's unsure what his role will be upon making it back to the big club, though Smith indicated a desire to be used in a multi-inning role, saying, "I feel like that's something that's going on in baseball now -- guys that can go two innings, guys that can go three innings. So have some utility."

Murphy (elbow) began a throwing program last week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy had Tommy John surgery in April and has finally been cleared to begin throwing again. The left-hander is sure to begin next season on the injured list -- perhaps the 60-day IL -- but will hope to contribute out of Boston's bullpen eventually.

Murphy underwent successful Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Wednesday in Texas, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy had his procedure nearly a month after he was diagnosed with a torn UCL, as he was presumably waiting for some of the swelling in his elbow to subside before getting the operation. The left-hander will likely be sidelined until around midseason in 2025.

The Red Sox placed Murphy (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

His move to the 60-day IL freed up a 40-man roster spot for lefty reliever Joely Rodriguez. Murphy sustained ligament damage to his left elbow during spring training and is likely to undergo season-ending surgery at some point in the near future.

Murphy is expected to require season-ending surgery to repair a UCL tear in his left elbow, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy will receive a second opinion first just to be sure, but the expectation is that he'll need an operation. It's unclear at this point whether it will be Tommy John surgery or perhaps an internal brace procedure, but either one would knock him out for the duration of the 2024 season.
