Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy went 1-for-7 with a hit-by-pitch, a run and three strikeouts in the first two games against the Brewers and is hitting .083 through six games in the second half, so he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Travis d'Arnaud will take over behind the plate and bat fifth.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy will get a breather for the series finale after going 0-for-9 in his first two games back from the All-Star break. Of course Murphy didn't get much of a break -- he started the All-Star Game for the National League and caught several innings -- so he could probably use the day off more than most. Travis d'Arnaud will catch for starter Kolby Allard.

Murphy is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy started the past three games and homered in each contest, but he'll receive a breather Sunday for the final game before the All-Star break. Travis d'Arnaud will take over behind the plate to catch for Bryce Elder.

Murphy went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks Saturday in a 6-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy produced half of Atlanta's runs on one swing when he slugged a three-run shot to left field in the fourth inning. It was the All-Star catcher's third straight game with a long ball, and he's gone 6-for-11 with seven RBI over that span. Murphy has hit 17 home runs through 67 contests, and he's already just one shy of his career-high mark of 18 set last season over 148 contests.

Murphy went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop led a 19-hit barrage by Atlanta that saw seven of the team's nine starters record multiple hits, with Murphy's biggest blow being a solo shot off Cal Quantrill in the third inning. The homer was Murphy's third in his last six games and 15th of the season, while the surge has pushed his slash line on the season back up to .305/.397/.580 with 40 runs and 50 RBI in 65 contests.

Murphy is not in the lineup Tuesday at Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Travis d'Arnaud will catch for Atlanta and Marcell Ozuna will fill the DH role. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Murphy, who smacked a double in Monday's series opener and boasts a .294/.389/.557 batting line on the year.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta's top backstop will sit out the series finale in what appears to be a routine maintenance day. Travis d'Arnaud will check in behind the dish in place of Murphy, who went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and two additional runs while starting at catcher in the first two games of the series.

Murphy went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's victory against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy's 14th homer of the year was a two-run shot in the sixth inning of Friday's blowout win. Despite being limited to just 58 plate appearances in June, he posted a .928 OPS with seven extra-base hits during the month, including a long ball in each of his last two games. The breakout 2023 campaign continues for Murphy, who is now slashing .294/.390/.556 with 47 RBI and 28 extra-base knocks.

Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta's offense came out of the gate firing, and Murphy's first-inning homer off Joe Ryan was one of five long balls the team hit in its first 10 plate appearances. The catcher is putting the finishing touches on a strong month of June that has seen him slash .300/.340/.500 through 15 games, and on the season Murphy's up to 13 homers and 44 RBI in 60 contests, a pace that would shatter the career highs of 18 home runs and 66 RBI he set last year in Oakland.
