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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Murphy is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

With a 12:20 p.m. ET start time, it's not surprising to see Murphy get a breather after the night game Tuesday. He was dealing with a hamstring issue last week but avoided an injured list stint, and Atlanta has a strong backup in Travis d'Arnaud to spell Murphy in situations like this.

Murphy is not in the lineup Monday versus the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Murphy will return to the starting nine Sunday in Cincinnati after sitting out the past five games with a hamstring issue. The 28-year-old has a .286/.318/.452 slash line through 42 at-bats in June and a .915 OPS on the season.

Murphy (hamstring) isn't in Atlanta's lineup Saturday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday will mark the fifth straight game Murphy has not started since injuring his hamstring a week ago against Colorado, though he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance Thursday. Travis d'Arnaud will continue to serve as Atlanta's main backstop in Murphy's absence and bat sixth.

Murphy (hamstring) appeared as a pinch hitter Thursday against the Phillies but won't be ready to catch Friday's game in Cincinnati, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's still a chance Murphy could return later this weekend, per Bowman, and his appearance off the bench Thursday makes an injured list stint less likely. Chadwick Tromp will serve as Travis d'Arnaud's backup in the meantime. Murphy struck out in his pinch-hit appearance.
