Murphy's Rehab: 7 Innings, Eye on May Return

0:00On April 24th, Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy keeps grinding through his rehab, catching seven innings behind the play Thursday night with. Triple A Gwinnett, that's his longest stint yet, building back from hip surgery that sideline him last fall. He's up one inning from his Tuesday outing, slowly ramping toward a full nine inning workload. He won't play every day at first, but expect some back-to-back games once he's ready. Fans got eyes on his bat too. He's zero for 15 with one walk across his minor league games. Coming off that season ending surgery in September, he skipped all spring training, so it's no shock the hits ain't dropping yet. Murphy balled out as a 2023 All-Star, hitting 233 with 16 homers and an A-23 OPS through July 31st. Now early maize the target return, just a week out, and he says his at-bats feel sharper. Give it time, live swings beat cagework, and those hips power the swing. If he keeps stacking innings like this, Braves Nation might see that fire back soon.
