Can confirm that Murphy has cracked a rib. Health was the name of the game for 2025; Drake Baldwin could be the answer. Time will tell https://t.co/kHjyJDmOAE

Murphy is expected to be sidelined for at least the rest of the month.
The Oakland Athletics traded Murphy to the Braves back in December 2023. He spent the first two months of the 2024 season on the injured list with an oblique strain.
