Braves' Sean Murphy: Remains red hot Saturday
Murphy went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday in a 7-6 win against St. Louis.
Murphy clubbed a huge homer in the eighth inning, driving in three runs on a shot to left field to give Atlanta a one-run lead. It was the third long ball in the past two days for the veteran catcher and his seventh home run across his past 11 contests. The power surge has pushed Murphy to 16 homers and 38 RBI on the campaign, numbers more than good enough to nail down a spot atop the catching depth chart on most teams. However, talented rookie Drake Baldwin has 11 homers and 32 RBI along with an .840 OPS (slightly better than Murphy's .837 mark), so it will be interesting to see how the team divvies up playing time between the two moving forward. Murphy has started five of Atlanta's past six contests, though one of those starts came at DH, and Baldwin also logged one start at DH during that span.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Posts sixth career multi-homer game
Murphy went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.
It was the sixth career multi-homer effort by Murphy, who is beginning to make a case for more playing time behind the plate with a recent power surge. The veteran backstop's slugging percentage stood at .423 as of June 26, but he's since raised that figure to .513 for the season. Over his last 10 outings, Murphy is hitting .314 (11-for-35) with six long balls, three doubles and 13 RBI.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Spoils shutout Sunday
Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.
The backstop was the only Atlanta hitter to have much success against Trevor Rogers and the Baltimore bullpen, accounting for his team's only extra-base hits and its only run with his ninth-inning shot off Seranthony Dominguez. Murphy has gone yard four times in his last seven games, batting .318 (7-for-22) over that impressive span with two doubles and nine RBI. As a result, the playing-time split between him and rookie Drake Baldwin may be tipping Murphy's way heading toward the All-Star break.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Launches go-ahead homer
Murphy went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Angels.
Murphy struck out in his other three plate appearances, but he made his one hit count as he took the first pitch of the at-bat from Ryan Zeferjahn deep to left-center field for a three-run homer in the sixth. Murphy has a home run in each of his last three starts, and his 12 home runs this season is tied with Shea Langeliers for fourth most among major-league catchers.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Provides only offense in loss
Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.
His second-inning shot off Ranger Suarez gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead, but the team's bats were quiet the rest of the afternoon. Murphy has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him 11 homers on the season as he continues to split reps with rookie Drake Baldwin. Neither backstop made a consistent impact in June however -- Murphy slashed .217/.283/.391 in 53 plate appearances on the month, while Baldwin sported a .200/.323/.418 line in 65 PAs.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Launches grand slam
Murphy went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a double in Saturday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.
His long ball in the seventh inning gave Atlanta some breathing room after Philadelphia had pulled within a run in the sixth. Prior to that, Murphy had gone 14 games without a homer, batting just .190 (8-for-42) in that span. He's up to 10 homers on the year, matching his 72-game total from last year. Murphy has added 26 RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles and a .225/.319/.450 slash line across 49 contests in 2025 while sharing catching duties with Drake Baldwin.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Back on bench Wednesday
Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Murphy had started both of Atlanta's last two games, marking the first time he's been behind the dish for consecutive contests since May 27 and 29. The veteran backstop has produced a .487 OPS thus far in June, so he doesn't seem to have built much momentum toward overtaking Drake Baldwin as Atlanta's No. 1 catcher. Though Baldwin will get the start Wednesday, he's also started to slow down at the dish following a hot start to the season, so the playing time between him and Murphy could be distributed in fairly equitable fashion for the foreseeable future.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Homers in matinee
Murphy went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two walks in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies.
Murphy got Atlanta on the board in the sixth inning with an RBI single before cutting the deficit to 4-3 with a 412-foot solo blast off Matt Strahm in the eighth, his ninth homer this season. It was a much-needed effort from the 30-year-old catcher, who'd gone just 1-for-13 over his previous five games while splitting catching duties with Drake Baldwin. Overall, Murphy's slashing .228/.333/.500 with 20 RBI and 14 runs scored across 132 plate appearances this season.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Sitting again in favor of Baldwin
Murphy is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
Murphy looks to have fallen into the short side of a platoon at catcher with rookie Drake Baldwin, who will make a fifth straight start against a right-hander (Trevor Williams) Thursday. On the flip side, seven of Murphy's last eight starts have come against left-handed pitching.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Losing work to Baldwin
Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Murphy owns an .817 OPS for the season, but with rookie Drake Baldwin sporting an even hotter bat (.983 OPS), the playing time behind the dish has begun to tilt in the youngster's favor. The two backstops seem to be moving into a loose platoon behind the dish, as the right-handed-hitting Murphy has made each of his last three starts against left-handed pitching but now finds himself out of the lineup for a fifth straight matchup with a righty (Trevor Williams).

Braves' Sean Murphy: Taking seat Saturday
Murphy isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Atlanta seems to have fallen into a pattern of alternating between Murphy and Drake Baldwin behind the plate, and Saturday will mark the latter's turn to start after Murphy went 2-for-4 with a home run Friday.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Out of lineup again Sunday
Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.
Murphy is sitting for a second straight game while the red-hot Drake Baldwin gets another start at catcher. Prior to Sunday, the pair had alternated starts behind the plate for each of Atlanta's previous eight contests. Baldwin has made it difficult for manager Brian Snitker to take his bat out of the lineup -- through 11 games in May, the rookie catcher is batting .556 (15-for-27) with three homers and eight RBI.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Ends power drought
Murphy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Red Sox.
The backstop went back-to-back with Matt Olson in the second inning off Garrett Crochet. It was Murphy's eighth homer in 28 contests this season but his first long ball since April 26, snapping a 12-game drought. With Drake Baldwin surging, Murphy may need to pick up the pace at the plate to avoid losing even more playing time to the rookie.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Resting Thursday
Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
Murphy will take a seat for the day game after he went 0-for-3 while catching eight innings of Wednesday's 5-4 loss. Drake Baldwin will fill in for Murphy behind the dish Thursday, and manager Brian Snitker suggested Tuesday that the rookie backstop could work his way into a timeshare behind the dish, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. Murphy has produced a strong .819 OPS over 27 games this season, but Baldwin has performed even better over a similar sample, slashing .338/.390/.563 across 77 plate appearances.
