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.

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.

EDGE Analysis
Murphy was pulled after limping down the first base line on a ball he hit to the wall in center. Snitker told reporters that the team would offer an update on Murphy's status after more is learned Saturday night. For now, the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day.
