    • Hitting off tee
      Murphy (oblique) began hitting off the tee during Atlanta's most recent series against Seattle earlier this week, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: It's the first time Murphy has swung the bat since landing on the 10-day IL on March 30 with a Grade 1 left oblique strain. Prior to the series in Seattle, Murphy was limited to light throwing and catching work in the bullpen. The 29-year-old has taken a positive step in his program, but he still has a ways to go before starting a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 3:53 pm

    • Sean Murphy (oblique) takes swings off a tee
      Sean Murphy (oblique) took swings off of a tee while the Braves were in Seattle.

      Advice: It’s a small step, but it’s at least a step in the right direction for the hard-hitting backstop. Everything went well with that swinging session and the club will continue to ramp him up from there. There’s still no clear timetable for when he may be able to return. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm

    • Receiving day off
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: After going hitless in seven at-bats while starting behind the plate Monday and Tuesday, Ruiz will get a break Wednesday. Riley Adams will handle the catching duties for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:22 pm

    • Resting Sunday
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: After his return from the 10-day injured list Thursday following a bout with the flu, Ruiz started behind the dish each of the past three games, going 1-for-11 with a solo home run and a walk. He'll get a breather for the day game in Miami, giving way to Riley Adams. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:58 am

    • Returns from IL
      The Nationals reinstated Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. He'll start at catcher and bat fifth in the Nationals' series finale versus the Dodgers.

      Advice: Ruiz missed the Nationals' last 11 games while recovering from a case of influenza. He checked out fine after making two rehab appearances with Double-A Harrisburg earlier this week and should settle back in as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher now that he's been activated from the IL. Washington optioned catcher Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:04 am

    • Nationals activate Keibert Ruiz from 10-day IL
      Nationals activated C Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 25-year-old backstop returns to Washington after he was sidelined with the flu. Ruiz has struggled to start the season slashing .194/.265/.290, but he’s keep his strikeout rate low (15%) so fantasy managers could expect some positive regression coming his way.

    • Resumes catching work
      Murphy (oblique) was able to catch bullpen sessions Tuesday and Wednesday but has yet to resume swinging a bat, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Murphy's ability to throw at full strength while donning his full catching equipment represents a positive step forward in his recovery from a Grade 1 left oblique strain, but until he starts swinging the bat again, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be viewed as imminent. The backstop has been on the shelf since March 30 with the injury. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:35 pm
