Murray didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-3 rout of Atlanta, allowing one hit over three scoreless innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Making just his third big-league appearance, Murray faced one batter over the minimum as the opener while tossing an efficient 32 of 40 pitches for strikes. The Astros currently have only four healthy starting pitchers and seemingly no help coming from either Triple-A or the injured list, so they could be turning to their well-stocked bullpen every fifth turn through the rotation, with Murray likely to be part of that equation. The 28-year-old righty hasn't given up a run in his first 5.1 MLB innings, and Friday's third-inning single by Marcell Ozuna was the first baserunner he'd allowed.

Murray will serve as the Astros' opening pitcher for Friday's game in Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has made two scoreless relief appearances for the Astros since being called up earlier this month. He's a former starter but has been used exclusively in relief in 2025, so Murray is likely available only for an inning or two. AJ Blubaugh is a good bet to eat some innings Friday in what will be a bullpen game for Houston.

The Astros selected Murray's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spencer Arrighetti's (elbow) move to the injured list Wednesday will open up a spot on Houston's pitching staff for Murray to join the big club for the first time in his career. The 28-year-old carries a 4.64 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 64 innings in Triple-A this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations to begin his tenure with the Astros.

The Astros reassigned Murray to minor-league camp Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray spent most of last season in Double-A, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 97.2 innings. The 25-year-old righty had a fantastic spring, throwing eight scoreless innings with five strikeouts, and likely earned himself a promotion to Triple-A for the start of 2023.
