Murphy is absent from the lineup in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud have alternated starts at catcher since d'Arnaud returned from paternity leave in mid-September. It will be d'Arnaud doing the catching and batting seventh in the first game Monday, with Murphy likely to get the nod for the second contest.
