Murphy has started four of the five games since his return from the injured list and has looked good at the plate. After drawing a walk in the second inning, he led off the seventh with a solo homer off Manuel Rodríguez to put the Braves on the board. The 30-year-old backstop then slugged his second homer of the game to tie things in the eighth off Hunter Bigge, his third homer over four games.

Fairchild had been out since May 30 with a dislocated finger. He’ll make the occasional appearance against left-handers, probably mostly as a pinch-hitter. Even with Ronald Acuña Jr. absent, Fairchild had just 36 plate appearances in the Braves’ 50 games before he got hurt.

The one real unknown in this mega deal is Jose Bello. The 20-year-old right-hander was signed out of the Dominican Republic and has spent the past three seasons pitching in the lowest levels of the minor leagues. He has registered a 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 28/3 K/BB ratio over 18 innings for the Giants’ affiliate in the Arizona Complex League this season. He’s a very intriguing young arm but a long way from potentially helping out at the major league level.

It’s kind of eerie how all of Herrera’s best offensive games come when he’s catching. His previous homer came Monday, which was also the last game he had caught. In between, he was limited to four singles in 20 at-bats as a DH. He’s currently batting .377 with six homers in 12 games as a catcher, compared to .284 with two homers in 27 games as a DH.
