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.

Murphy has been diagnosed with ligament damage in his left elbow, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican says it's a high-grade tear, although a decision on whether Murphy will undergo surgery will be made in the coming days. He had been competing for one of the left-handed spots in Boston's bullpen but now will be sidelined for a significant period of time, whether surgery is ultimately required or not.

Murphy is experiencing soreness in his left elbow and will undergo an MRI on Monday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is competing for a spot in Boston's bullpen, but the injury looks as though it could threaten his availability for Opening Day. The southpaw posted a 4.91 ERA and 49:17 K:BB over 47.2 relief innings with Boston last season.

Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox are swapping out Brandon Walter in favor of Murphy heading into Friday's weekend series in Toronto. Murphy is stretched out to provide the bullpen with some length.

Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy covered four innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, and with that kind of workload presumably making him unavailable for at least a couple days, the Red Sox decided to remove him from the roster and replace him with fellow reliever Kyle Barraclough, who was called up from Triple-A. Now that he's back with Worcester, Murphy should slide back into the rotation.
