Murphy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in a 3-2 win against the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy deposited a 1-2 offering from Robbie Ray over the left field fence to give the Mariners an early 2-0 lead. It was the backstop's first long ball since July 22 and he's now 4-for-17 in six August games with a .205/.294/.380 slash line this season.

Murphy went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles, a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy finished off the Mariners' four-run third inning with a Texas Leaguer that fell in just in front of a diving Ramon Laureano for an RBI single. The 30-year-old backstop was productive in both of his starts during the series with Oakland, as he also mashed his eighth home run of the season Thursday. Rookie Cal Raleigh still appears to top the depth chart at catcher ahead of Murphy, who likely can't be counted on to receive more than two or three starts per week.

Murphy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Athletics on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy's 394-foot shot to left field in the seventh inning resulted in the only run for the Mariners on a night when the Athletics' Sean Manaea rang up a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven innings. The veteran backstop owns an abysmal .197/.281/.376 slash line for the season, but at least 15 of his 37 hits have gone for extra bases (seven doubles, eight home runs).

Murphy will start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll join the lineup for the series finale, Murphy appears to be behind Cal Raleigh in the pecking order for reps at catcher and behind Luis Torrens at designated hitter. Murphy, who owns an underwhelming .638 OPS on the season, is starting for only the second time in six games.

Murphy went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop was responsible for nearly all of the Mariners' offensive output in the loss, notching two of the team's three hits and driving in three of its four runs. He knocked a three-run homer off Domingo German in the sixth inning that brought Seattle within a run. The long ball was his first since June 1 and pushed his season totals to seven homers and 19 RBI.

Murphy will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter and bat seventh Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 9-3 loss, Murphy will stick in the lineup for the third game in a row, but he had started in just four of the Mariners' nine contests prior to Sunday. Murphy appears to have at least temporarily moved behind Luis Torrens on the depth chart at catcher, though Murphy should still pick up a handful of starts per week.
