Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rockies manager Bud Black will withhold three of his lefty-hitting regulars (Murphy, Sam Hilliard and Tony Wolters) from the starting nine with a southpaw (Tyler Anderson) on the bump for the Giants. Ryan McMahon will shift over from the keystone to cover first base in place of Murphy.
