  • 37-40-3 8th Place
    • Drives in run in return
      Murphy went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Seeing his first MLB action since Opening Day, Murphy hit fifth in the order and brought home Marcell Ozuna with a groundout in the seventh inning. With Ronald Acuna (knee) lost for the season, Atlanta needs Murphy to quickly regain the form that saw him set career highs with 21 homers and an .843 OPS in 2023. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
       
    • Braves active Sean Murphy for Monday return
      Braves activated C Sean Murphy from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: It’s been a long wait, but Murphy is back. The veteran catcher played just one game for the Braves this season before injuring his oblique. He’s been hitting the ball well on his rehab assignment and throwing out baserunners, which shows his readiness to step back behind the dish. With Travis d’Arnaud playing well while Murphy was out, it’s likely that the Braves use a timeshare at catcher for the next few weeks, so fantasy managers who have d’Arnaud can maybe hold on a bit longer. That’s especially true given the injury to Ronald Acuna Jr. could mean Marcell Ozuna plays some outfield and d’Arnaud or Murphy could DH on occasion. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:13 am
       
    • Activated from injured list
      Atlanta activated Murphy (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Murphy missed more than eight weeks with a Grade 1 left oblique strain but is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup. He looked sharp during a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Gwinnett, batting .278 with two home runs. Murphy will probably be eased back into primary catcher duties for Atlanta, as the club is keeping Chadwick Tromp around as a third catcher behind Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud for the time being. He is starting Monday's game, batting fifth against Mitchell Parker and the Nationals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:28 am
       
    • Getting break Sunday
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Ruiz will get a breather after starting the last two games for Washington while going 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. Riley Adams will fill in at catcher at bat eighth in place of Ruiz. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:40 am
       
    • Keibert Ruiz gets pair of hits, drives in run vs. Astros
      Keibert Ruiz picked up a pair of hits and drove in a run in a win over the Mariners on Saturday.

      Advice: Ruiz appears to have things going again, and he’s picked up four hits in the first two games of the series. One of his knocks was a double, and he’s upped his line to .186/.218/.292. The 25-year-old has been among the worst offensive options in baseball at his position this year, but he’s too talented to be this bad all year. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Pops third homer
      Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.

      Advice: The 25-year-old catcher has had a rough season so far, and Friday's long ball off George Kirby snapped a 19-game homer drought for Ruiz. Through 31 contests, he's slashing a feeble .171/.207/.270 with three home runs and 10 RBI, but his bat could be waking up -- over his last six starts, he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two doubles in addition to Friday's blast.

    • Sean Murphy batting .355 on rehab assignment
      Sean Murphy (oblique) went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Friday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: Murphy homered in back-to-back contests to kick-off his rehab assignment prior to Friday’s game. He’s batting .357 (5-for-14) and appears close to returning to Atlanta’s lineup, possibly at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:18 am
       
    • Keibert Ruiz goes 2-for-3, homers
      Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run on Friday in a win over the Mariners.

      Advice: The homer was a welcome sight for Ruiz who’s carrying a puny .477 OPS into Memorial Day weekend. Perhaps this starts a power surge as the weather starts to warm in Washington, but he’s been very disappointing to this point in 2024. Rotoworld Friday, 6:08 pm
       
    • Ruiz returns to lineup Friday
      Keibert Ruiz is back in the Nationals’ lineup for Friday’s game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Ruiz was on the bench for the Nationals’ last game against the Twins on Wednesday, though he did pinch hit and record two at-bats. He’s back behind the plate and hitting sixth on Friday. Ruiz is slumping badly this season with a .157 average and two home runs in 108 at-bats this year. Rotoworld Friday, 11:54 am
