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 (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.

Murphy (hamstring) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Phillies but could still return this weekend in Cincinnati, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Bowman, Chadwick Tromp would have caught Thursday if Atlanta's game Wednesday hadn't been rained out, and Travis d'Arnaud will instead get the start for the day game. A stint on the injured list has not been ruled out for Murphy, and he should be considered questionable for this weekend's series.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Murphy (hamstring) felt better after running Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy is out of the starting lineup again Wednesday versus the Phillies as he nurses a tweaked right hamstring, but it sounds like the 28-year-old catcher could potentially return for Thursday's series finale. He boasts a .919 OPS with 12 home runs, 14 doubles and 42 RBI through 57 games this season with the current NL East leaders.

Murphy was diagnosed with inflammation in his right hamstring Sunday and is expected to be held out of the lineup for at least the next couple days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's win over the Rockies due to hamstring tightness, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury and may not require a trip to the injured list. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the club's primary backstop as Murphy continues to be evaluated over the next few days. Chadwick Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for catching depth ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Colorado.
