Chris Murphy - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Demoted to Charlotte The White Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Impact Murphy has made just four appearances since rejoining the big-league club on Sept. 9. Over 33 games with the White Sox, Murphy is sporting a 3-0 record, 4.81 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB over 33.2 innings. With Huascar Brazoban (lat) returning from the 15-day IL, Murphy was the odd man out to leave the active roster.

Gives up two homers as opener Murphy allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning during the White Sox's 7-6 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.

Impact Murphy served as the White Sox's opener Tuesday for the third time this season, but he couldn't make it out of the first inning after giving up home runs to both Jo Adell and Travis Bazzana. It was the first time Murphy gave up multiple homers in an outing this season and his first instance since July 25, 2025, against the Dodgers, when he gave up three deep balls. He now sits at a 4.68 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 32.2 innings this year, and it's unclear whether he'll be used as an opener over the final games of the regular season.

Serving as opener Tuesday Murphy will be used as an opener in Tuesday's contest in Cleveland, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Murphy will work the first inning or so before handing things off to bulk reliever Davis Martin. The left-handed Murphy has tossed two scoreless frames with a 5:0 K:BB in his two outings since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte last week.

Rejoins big-league bullpen The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Impact He is taking the roster spot vacated by Tyler Davis (bereavement). Murphy has logged 29 appearances for the White Sox this season, collecting a 4.20 ERA and 29:15 K:BB across 30 innings of work. He could be with the big club only while Davis is away for the next few days.

Reinstated and optioned The White Sox activated Murphy (forearm) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Chicago didn't have room in its bullpen for a healthy Murphy, so he'll end up sticking around in Charlotte for a little while longer after he struck out six over 4.2 scoreless innings across five rehab appearances for the affiliate. Murphy should rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the White Sox have a need for another lefty arm in the bullpen at any point over the final three weeks of the season.

Makes rehab appearance Murphy (forearm) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, pitching around two hits in a scoreless inning.

Impact Murphy was diagnosed with a left flexor strain less than three weeks ago, so it's a pleasant surprise that he's pitching in games again already. Because his absence has been brief, he shouldn't need many -- if any -- more rehab outings before rejoining the big-league bullpen.
