Murphy is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.
Murphy heads to the bench for the second consecutive game as Jeff Mathis gets the start behind the plate for Arizona on Sunday. The return of Alex Avila (hamstring) from the disabled list Saturday has already impacted Murphy's playing time, although he should garner the most starts among the three-man group.
