Tom Murphy's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) has continued his rehab after feeling a pop in his knee after trying to block a wild pitch back on May 4. Murphy started hitting and running progressions on Saturday, and manager Bob Melvin said the hope is that the team will have Murphy back in September. "It's taken him some time," Melvin said. "He doesn't feel it hitting, he doesn't feel it throwing, it's just getting down in the catcher's position that's he's having some trouble with it. He's pretty frustrated with it, too." The 33-year-old was put on the 10-day injured list on May 5, and an MRI exam showed a Grade 1-2 sprain. He was moved to the 60-day IL on May 15 and received a platelet-rich plasma injection on July 30. Murphy hit .118 with a homer in his first 13 games with the Giants and will likely serve as Patrick Bailey's backup when/if he returns to the big-league roster next month.

San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) has resumed baseball activity and is beginning to ramp up his baserunning. Murphy felt a pop in his knee after trying to block a wild pitch in the team's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on May 4 and was put on the 10-day injured list the following day. An MRI exam showed a Grade 1-2 left-knee sprain. Murphy was moved to the 60-day injured list on May 15. He was signed to a two-year, $8.25 million deal in December of 2023 for catching depth in San Francisco. The 33-year-old veteran hit just .118 with a home run in his first 13 games with the Giants before getting injured and will return to a backup role behind Patrick Bailey whenever he comes off the IL. Curt Casali has been serving as the team's No. 2 backstop since Murphy went down.

San Francisco Giants catcher Tom Murphy (knee) is expected to miss the next four to six weeks with a left knee sprain, according to manager Bob Melvin. Murphy suffered the injury in Saturday's 14-3 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies and now will be out for the next couple of weeks after undergoing an MRI on Sunday. The veteran catcher was hitting just .118 with one home run and two RBI in 13 games this season. With Patrick Bailey (concussion) also on the injured list, look for Blake Sabol to get more opportunities behind the plate.
