As of this story&#8217;s writing, the Braves hold a lackluster 1-7 record. Help could be on the way soon, however.<\/p>\n<p>According to Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game, catcher Sean Murphy could return from injury soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSean Murphy will catch nine innings for Gwinnett on Sunday and could be activated from the IL in time for the #Braves\u2018 series opener against the Phillies on Tuesday,\u201d McAuley wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy, who is dealing with a rib injury, is one of the better catchers in MLB. Of course, he isn&#8217;t the only reinforcement who could join the ball club soon.<\/p>\n<p>Star pitcher Spencer Strider has been taking steps in the right direction. Additionally, Ronald Acuna Jr. remains out due to injury, \u00a0but he could return fairly soon as well.<\/p>\n<p>In other words \u2014 despite the extremely slow start \u2014 there is hope for this Braves ball club.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Atlanta Braves NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Braves could use Sean Murphy boost<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Murphy, 30, joined the Braves in 2023 after previously playing for the Athletics. The catcher made his first All-Star team during the &#8217;23 campaign, highlighting a quality first season in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>He struggled in 2024, but was also limited to only 72 games played. If Murphy can return \u2014 and stay healthy \u2014 then perhaps he will find his footing and rebound in 2025. At the moment, Murphy is simply focused on returning as soon as he can.<\/p>\n<p>He would be a crucial reinforcement ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies series. The Phillies lead the National League East and look like a true championship contender. They will prove to be a difficult opponent for the struggling Braves. As mentioned, though, Atlanta could certainly turn things around.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves will continue to monitor and provide updates on Sean Murphy&#8217;s injury status as they are made available.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-Star catcher Sean Murphy is reportedly nearing his return to the Atlanta Braves after dealing with an injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":46976,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[71,44,694,740,61,741],"class_list":["post-46975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-injury","tag-ronald-acuna-jr","tag-sean-murphy","tag-spencer-strider"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
