Murphy was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy had tossed four scoreless innings across three relief appearances in the majors since the start of July, but he'll still be cast off the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old has a strong chance to remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers, but right-hander Trent Thornton will take his place in the bullpen.

Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy returned to the minors in late July but will return to the Blue Jays' bullpen as part of a move after left-hander Tim Mayza (elbow) was placed on the 10-day IL. The right-hander has mainly pitched in low-leverage situations in the majors, and he's recorded a 5.63 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in eight innings across seven relief appearances.

The Blue Jays optioned Murphy to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After getting called up from Buffalo on Wednesday to serve as the Blue Jays' 27th man for a doubleheader with the Red Sox, Murphy was summoned from the bullpen in the second game of the twin bill. He tossed a scoreless frame in Toronto's 4-1 loss, but he'll head back to Buffalo with the Blue Jays needing to reduce their roster to 26 ahead of Thursday's series finale.

The Blue Jays recalled Murphy from Triple-A Buffalo and designated him as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy will give Toronto some length out of the bullpen for the twin bill, but he'll most likely be headed back to Buffalo on Thursday. He's made six relief appearances for the big club on the season, giving up five earned runs on eight hits and three walks over seven innings.

Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy was called up by Toronto on Friday, but he didn't make any appearances during his most recent major-league stint. He's tossed 12 scoreless innings across eight relief appearances at Triple-A Buffalo this year and will now return to the minors going forward. Infielder Breyvic Valera was reinstated from the family medical emergency list in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays optioned Murphy to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy allowed a hit and walked a batter in 1.2 innings of scoreless work Thursday against Seattle, but yielded three runs (two earned) while recording just one out Wednesday. Even in one of the league's worst bullpens, Murphy's 6.43 ERA through seven innings merited a demotion to Triple-A. Nick Allgeyer and Anthony Castro were recalled Friday to join the bullpen also now without Tyler Chatwood (neck).

Murphy (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been sidelined all season while rehabbing from an AC joint injury, but he's now poised to make his season debut for the Blue Jays. Murphy made his major-league debut in 2020 and pitched well with one run allowed on six hits with a 5:2 K:BB across six innings.

Murphy (shoulder) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy began a rehab assignment May 24 and made three relief appearances for Low-A Dunedin. He allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five in 3.1 innings during that time. The right-hander will now face Triple-A talent and could be nearing his return to the major-league mound.

Murphy (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Low-A Dunedin on Sunday, working 1.1 innings while giving up to runs (one earned) on three hits while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays are likely planning to stretch Murphy out for starting duty at Triple-A Buffalo once he's ultimately reinstated from the 60-day injured list, so he could make a couple more appearances at the lower levels of the minors before he's exposed to tougher competition. Murphy has been recovering from an AC joint in his right shoulder, an injury he suffered while working out shortly before spring training.
