Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Murphy had started behind the plate in five of the past six games, but he'll likely be in store for a role reduction after Travis d'Arnaud (personal) returned from the paternity list Thursday. Despite getting more consistent at-bats of late, Murphy is still hitting just .080 in September and a career-worst .203 on the season.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Murphy has now started just three times in nine games and may be moving into the shorter side of a timeshare at catcher with Travis d'Arnaud. The 29-year-old backstop has been a major disappointment in the second season of a six-year, $73 million contract, having submitted a career-low .685 OPS through 210 plate appearances for Atlanta.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins. It's the second straight day and third time in Atlanta's past four games that Murphy will be on the bench. The 29-year-old has a .633 OPS in August and will cede catching duties to Travis d'Arnaud on Tuesday.
