Fantasy Impact

The backup catcher now has four homers on the season, but he's hitting just .180 with a .680 OPS. Murphy isn't a fantasy option, even if he wound up getting everyday playing time.

John Ryan Murphy hit a two-run homer and drew two walks in the D'Backs' 6-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

Murphy does not have any fantasy value whatsoever. He is not getting any consistent playing time among Arizona's trio of catchers, and when he is playing he is not hitting well with just a .212 AVG.
