InjurySean Murphy (hip) went 0-for-2 and caught four innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for High-A Rome.
Atlanta probably wouldn’t mind if Murphy took his time with the way Drake Baldwin has been tearing the cover off the ball this season. The 31-year-old backstop is expected to catch Spencer Strider’s rehab start on Thursday but figures to return to Atlanta shortly afterwards. He’s been out recovering from last year’s hip surgery since the end of spring training.
