Braves Place Sean Murphy on Injured List with Finger Injury

The Atlanta Braves placed catcher Sean Murphy on the injured list on May 13 with a finger injury.

Murphy, 31, had appeared in just four games this season in limited action. The veteran catcher is seven home runs away from reaching the 100-homer milestone in his career.

The injury is another setback for Murphy, who was activated from the injured list on May 5 before being sidelined again. The Braves currently lead the NL East with a 28-13 record and have two catchers remaining on their active roster.

Murphy's placement on the injured list marks his second IL stint in recent weeks, as shown by his transaction history this month.
