Manager Bud Black said that Murphy (forearm) is "closer than you think" to returning from the disabled list, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.

He hasn't progressed to catching bullpen sessions yet, but this vote of confidence is still a promising sign for the prospect catcher. Given how much time he's missed, Murphy will likely need to go on a rehab assignment once he's gotten back to baseball activities, and although no official timetable has been revealed, Black's comments seem to point toward a return date sometime in the next couple weeks.
