Chris Murphy

With Huáscar Brazoban rejoining the White Sox’ bullpen on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot to clear a spot and it looks like Murphy drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old left-hander has registered a 4.81 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 35/16 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings in 33 appearances for the White Sox this season.

Murphy lost his roster spot upon being activated from the injured list on Monday, but he’s back now. He has a 4.20 ERA in 30 innings for the White Sox this season.

Murphy will remain on the doorstep of the majors after wrapping up a minor league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old lefty hit the injured list with a flexor strain back in early August.

Murphy was called upon last night in the 11th inning of a marathon game between Boston and Chicago after throwing 27 pitches the day before, and it appears he was worse for the wear. Murphy has a 4.20 ERA in 30 innings with the White Sox this year.

Murphy rejoins Chicago’s relief mix with fellow southpaw Tyler Gilbert heading to the injured list with a shoulder impingement. The 28-year-old has compiled an underwhelming 6.75 ERA across 9 1/3 innings for Chicago this season.

Murphy returns to the minors after posting a lackluster 6.75 ERA across 9 1/3 innings for Chicago this season. The 27-year-old lefty figures to return as a middle relief option for the White Sox at some point this summer.

With Tyler Gilbert away from the team due to a family medical emergency, Murphy will have another opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. He holds a 10.50 ERA and 2.33 WHIP over six innings in six outings for the White Sox this season.

Murphy will remain back in the minors after wrapping up a rehab assignment. The 27-year-old southpaw has been out since early April recovering from an elbow impingement.

Murphy had been knocked around in six appearances for the Pale Hose — registering a 10.50 ERA and 2.33 WHIP over six innings — and it sounds like the elbow issue may be partly to blame. No word yet from Will Venable and company on how long he’ll be shelved for. Brandon Eisert was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move to take his place in the White Sox’ bullpen.

Seranthony Domínguez and Grant Taylor were unavailable after pitching the previous two days, so Murphy got the call in spite of having allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings to begin the year. He began the ninth by walking Kazuma Okamoto, but he then retired three in a row to protect a 3-0 lead. Murphy’s previous save was of the three-inning variety while with the Red Sox in 2023.

Murphy has worked exclusively in relief in the majors, but the 27-year-old could get stretched out either as a potential starting option or a multi-inning bullpen arm. While he’s been effective as a reliever, fantasy managers should look elsewhere even if he did somehow get a starting gig.

Murphy heads to Chicago after registering a serviceable 3.12 ERA across 34 2/3 innings over 23 appearances in low-leverage duty for the Red Sox this past season. Boston clearly feels that they had some superior options coming up through their system which is why they made the decision to move on from Murphy and a couple other relievers over the past few hours.

Murphy heads to Florida to remain part of Boston’s break glass in case of emergency crew heading into the postseason. The 27-year-old lefty wraps up the regular season with a solid 3.12 ERA across 34 2/3 innings over 23 appearances in low-leverage duty.

Murphy is able to be recalled just two days after being demoted to the minors because Brennan Bernardino was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained lat. Murphy will likely be a middle-inning option while he’s with Boston.
