Chris Murphy - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Throws two innings in loss Murphy allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over two innings in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Murphy pitched the eighth and ninth innings of what was a bullpen game for the Red Sox. The former starter has showed promise as a bulk reliever since transitioning to the bullpen in the minors at the beginning of the month. The Red Sox are rolling with three healthy starters and expect James Paxton (knee) to start Friday. Beyond that, the fifth spot in the rotation may be what was on display Wednesday, a combination of long relievers that features Murphy and Nick Pivetta. Both Tanner Houck (face) and Chris Sale (shoulder) are on the injured list.

Boston Red Sox recall infielder Bobby Dalbec and left-hander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester

The Boston Red Sox have recalled infielder Bobby Dalbec and left-hander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester

Could be bulk option Wednesday Murphy, who was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, could serve as the primary pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Marlins and will work as a long reliever going forwar...

Impact The Red Sox only have four healthy starters, and the next open spot in the rotation comes up Wednesday. In the meantime Murphy could pitch this weekend, but his most likely path to fantasy value is as the pitcher of record in the bullpen game next week against the Marlins. Murphy has shaky numbers on the season, but he struck out nine over seven scoreless innings across his three most recent appearances at Triple-A.

Optioned to Triple-A Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Murphy will return to Worcester after he was called up Thursday, failing to appear in the team's 6-0 loss to the Twins. The left-hander was expected to appear in Wednesday's upcoming matchup with the Marlins and it's unclear if that's still the case. The 25-year-old has tossed six scoreless innings with the Red Sox in 2023, allowing three hits while walking a batter and striking out eight others.

Could pitch every fifth game Murphy will likely take on a multi-inning role next Wednesday against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Boston's starting rotation is in flux following an injury to Tanner Houck (face), who joins Chris Sale (shoulder) on the injured list. The Red Sox have two days off over the next 11 days and could roll with a four-man rotation, but the team plans to give its starters more rest and keep a five-man group without naming a direct replacement for Houck. That means every fifth start could be a bullpen game, featuring Murphy, who has been dominant since transitioning from starter to reliever. It's unclear which other relievers would be part of those bullpen games, and it likely hinges on bullpen usage during games leading up to the fifth turn of the rotation.

Back in majors The Red Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The Red Sox sent Murphy down to Worcester immediately after he served as the 27th man in Sunday's doubleheader versus the Yankees, and now Murphy will return for his third MLB stint this season. Despite his 7.01 ERA in Triple-A, Murphy has been stellar in the majors -- he's thrown six scoreless frames while allowing just three hits and striking out eight batters. Brandon Walter was sent back to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Impact Murphy served as the 27th man during Sunday's doubleheader versus the Yankees but is now headed back to the minors. The left-hander has spun six scoreless frames with eight strikeouts in the majors this season, so he has surely earned another opportunity at some point down the line.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes to win Murphy allowed one hit and struck out three over 2.2 scoreless relief innings in Boston's 6-2 win over the Yankees the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Murphy was the 27th man called up for the doubleheader and was a key contributor out of the bullpen, which combined to throw 6.2 shutout innings and allowed Boston's bats to overcome and early 2-0 deficit. Murphy has been splendid since moving to the bullpen, a move that started at Triple-A Worcester. The left-hander has fired seven scoreless innings for the WooSox and six scoreless for the Red Sox. He's expected to head back to Worcester following Boston's doubleheader sweep but could return as an impact lefty reliever, considering how much southpaws Richard Bleier and Joely Rodriguez have struggled. Both Bleier and Rodriguez are currently on the injured list.

Appointed as 27th man Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday to serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader against the Yankees, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Murphy will give the Red Sox an extra arm in the bullpen for the twin bill against New York after Saturday's contest was postponed. In his MLB debut against Cleveland on June 8, the southpaw threw 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out five, but he's registered an unhealthy 7.01 ERA and 1.88 WHIP as a member of Worcester over his 43.2 frames.

Optioned to Triple-A Murphy was Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo reports.

Impact The good news is Murphy tossed 3.1 scoreless relief innings in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland in his major-league debut. The bad news is that means he was going to be unavailable for a few days, which is why he finds himself back in the minors.

Makes MLB debut Murphy allowed two hits and one walk while striking out five over 3.1 scoreless relief innings in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Murphy, who was a starter in the minors, was called up this week and made his MLB debut. Spot starts could become available if he remains up with the team, but it looks like long relief may be his role for now. It's role that had been handled by Kutter Crawford, who started Wednesday in place of Chris Sale (shoulder).

Recalled from Triple-A Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Murphy is getting the call even as he's put up a 7.71 ERA and 42:25 K:BB over 39.2 innings of work with Worcester this season. He'll be available in relief immediately but is under consideration for a start later this week. Murphy will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Set for Tuesday promotion Murphy will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Murphy will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday, though the team is also considering rolling him out for a start later in the week. If he's not needed in relief Tuesday or Wednesday, he could toe the rubber Thursday against Cleveland, per Cotillo. Expect Boston's pitching plans to firm up later in the week.
