  • Lands on injured list
    The Giants placed Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Murphy suffered the injury during Saturday's contest and is now on the injured list after an MRI revealed a sprain. Patrick Bailey (concussion) is also unavailable, leaving Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, to handle catching duties.

  • Giants promote Jakson Reetz from Triple-A
    Giants selected the contract of C Jakson Reetz from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The Giants’ catching depth has been hit hard over the second half of the week, as Patrick Bailey went down with a concussion and Tom Murphy suffered a left knee sprain on Saturday. That leaves Reetz, 28, to serve as the primary backup behind Blake Sabol for the time being. Reetz had been hitting .217/.357/.435 with a pair of homers, nine RBI and an 11/6 K/BB ratio over his first 57 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:24 pm
     
  • Giants place Tom Murphy (knee) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed C Tom Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain.

    Advice: As expected, the 33-year-old backstop lands on the injured list after injuring his left knee during Saturday’s battle against the Phillies. With Patrick Bailey (concussion) also shelved, the Giants will rely on Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz to handle the load behind the plate for the time being. There’s no clear timetable for how long Murphy may be shelved for. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:22 pm
