EDGE Analysis

Murphy started the past two games behind the plate and will receive the day off Wednesday. Jose Godoy will catch for Justus Sheffield and bat ninth.

Murphy went 0-for-2 with a run-scoring sacrifice fly, two walks and a run in a in over the Twins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Multiple teammates stole the headlines with big extra-base hits, but Murphy also enjoyed some rare success at the plate in less spectacular fashion. The veteran backstop's season line still sits at a dismal .178/.250/.364, yet 12 of his 23 hits have gone for extra bases (six doubles, six home runs) and he's now reached safely in seven straight games.

Murphy had started in each of the last two games and went 2-for-8 with an RBI and three strikeouts during that time. Jose Godoy will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Murphy, who went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday, is hitting .333 (8-for-24) with two doubles, two home runs, five RBI, three walks and five runs across his last nine games.

EDGE Analysis

The surge has boosted Murphy's slash line from .127/.179/.304 to a still-abysmal-but-ascending .175/.232/.388. The veteran catcher has typically been a solid offensive contributor throughout his career, but he's split more playing time behind the dish than originally planned with the since-demoted Luis Torrens and Jose Godoy due to his struggles.

Murphy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, walk and two strikeouts in a 12-6 loss to Oakland on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was having a pedestrian day until his eighth inning blast off Jake Diekman brought Seattle to within four runs of Oakland's lead. The backstop has been a boom-or-bust hitter this season with a .170/.229/.390 slash line but four doubles and six home runs on only 17 hits.

Murphy went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy opened the scoring with his third inning solo shot off Texas starter Kolby Allard, walked in the fifth and singled and scored in the seventh for his second game reaching base three times this year. The backstop appeared primed for a prominent role after posting an .858 OPS in 2019 but has struggled to .157/.219/.371 line thus far.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

On the bench for the third time in four games, Murphy doesn't seem to have as much of a stranglehold on the No. 1 catching job as expected following Luis Torrens' demotion to Triple-A Tacoma last week. Jose Godoy will instead get another start behind the plate over the struggling Murphy, who is sitting on a .185 on-base average over 92 plate appearances on the season.

Murphy isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners will turn to a left-handed bat in Jose Godoy against a right-hander hurler Monday evening, resulting in a second straight day off for Murphy. Godoy is batting seventh in Murphy's absence.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's locked in as the Mariners' clear No. 1 catcher after Luis Torrens was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Murphy will still require at least a couple maintenance days per week. After starting each of the past three games behind the dish, Murphy will be rested Sunday in favor of Jose Godoy, who picks up his first big-league start.
