EDGE Analysis

Murphy broke out of his season-long slump in Monday's 9-5 victory, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles while also reaching base on a hit by pitch. He'll cede catching duties to Aramis Garcia in the series finale, but expect Murphy to return behind the plate Thursday against the Tigers.

Updating a previous report, Murphy (wrist) will remain out of the lineup for a third straight game Sunday against the Astros, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though an initial lineup released on MLB.com listed Murphy as the Athletics' starting catcher, those duties will instead fall to Aramis Garcia while Murphy remains on the mend from a bruised right wrist. Per Alex Coffey of The Athletic, manager Bob Melvin said that Murphy didn't feel 100 percent while swinging in the batting cage, but the Athletics think the 26-year-old backstop will need only one more day off before checking back into the lineup. Oakland opens a three-game home series with the Dodgers on Monday.

Murphy (wrist) will start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He'll check back into the starting nine for the first time since Opening Day after missing consecutive games due to a right wrist contusion. Provided he comes out of Sunday's contest without issue, he should be in line to make the majority of the starts behind the dish during the Athletics' upcoming six-game week.
