• Rockies' Tom Murphy: Given September callup

  09/01/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. The backstop, who homered 17 times for the Isotopes in just 236 at-bats, hasn't found much success in limited big-league opportunities this season, slashing a mere .227/.253/.398 in 91 plate appearances. Though several starts could come his way down the stretch, Murphy will find it difficult to break through for much work ahead of Chris Iannetta, Tony Wolters and recent acquisition Drew Butera.

  Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. Murphy is hitting just .227/.253/.398 across 31 games with the Rockies this season -- and just .152/.188/.370 in 19 games since the start of July -- so he'll head back to the minors for more seasoning. With Murphy out of the picture for the time being, Chris Iannetta and Tony Wolters will split time behind the dish for the Rockies.
