Fantasy Impact:
"It was a combination of a bunch of things," Murphy said. "Missing that much time at the beginning, that's not how I wanted to begin the season. I'm not sure my swing ever felt correct coming off the oblique, not that I was in any pain or hurt. Some things just fell off, and I never caught up and found a way to adjust." After a career season in 2023, Murphy was limited to 72 games last year where he hit .193 at the plate. With the departure of Travis d'Arnaud, Murphy enters this season as the clear starting catcher for Atlanta.
