Sean Murphy Returns as Braves Surge | MLB News

The Braves are on fire, riding a hot streak into the second half and pulling ahead in their division. In a crucial series against the Marlins, they’ve already snagged Game 1 with a steady lineup. The big story? Sean Murphy’s return after months sidelined by injury—he’s back catching and batting ninth, paired with pitcher Bryce Elder. Murphy’s season has been plagued by setbacks: a hip issue kept him out early, then a finger injury derailed his comeback, yielding just one hit in limited at-bats. Over the past three seasons, he’s played under 100 games and never cracked .200. Signed to a $73M, six-year deal, he’s clearly a cornerstone the team still believes in—so much so they traded another player for his return. Can he reclaim his form and justify the investment?
