The Red Sox traded Murphy to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Ronny Hernandez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy was effective as a big-league reliever in 2025, finishing the regular season with a 3.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 34.2 innings. The White Sox aren't working with much depth in their bullpen, so the 27-year-old left-hander could see regular work in high-leverage opportunities with his new organization.

The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy threw three scoreless innings in Saturday's loss to Detroit, bringing his ERA and WHIP down to 3.12 and 1.18, respectively, over 34.2 innings with the big club this season. Jose De Leon was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move and will start the Red Sox's regular-season finale versus the Tigers. Murphy will likely stay active in case he's needed out of the bullpen at some point in the postseason.

The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy pitched each of the previous two days, so he likely wouldn't have been available out of the bullpen for a day or two. He's being sent out in favor of Kyle Harrison, who was recalled from Triple-A and is expected to provide length out of the bullpen during Wednesday's series finale versus the Athletics.

The Red Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy will join Boston as the bullpen replacement for Jordan Hicks, who landed on the injured list with a shoulder injury Friday. Murphy has fared well in the bigs this year to the tune of a 3.05 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 20.2 frames, though he'll most likely be limited to middle-relief work while with the Sox.

The Red Sox will recall Murphy from Triple-A Worcester prior to Friday's game in Arizona, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take the roster spot vacated by Jordan Hicks (shoulder), who is heading to the 15-day injured list. Murphy has made 14 appearances out of the Boston bullpen this season, collecting a 3.05 ERA and 19:10 K:BB over 20.2 frames. He'll be used in long relief.

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.
