Murfee (elbow) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. Murfee was pulled off his rehab assignment nearly a month ago after reporting soreness in his surgically repaired right elbow, and he's now worked his way back to facing live hitters. It remains unclear how far away he is from a return to the active roster, though it's worth noting he hasn't yet been ruled out from making another appearance in the regular season.

The Astros pulled Murfee off his rehab assignment Thursday due to discomfort in his right elbow, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Murfee initially reported soreness after making a rehab outing with Single-A Fayetteville last week. The Astros then made the decision to shut him down for a few days, but the 30-year-old's no-throw period will now be extended indefinitely after his elbow failed to show improvement. He's spent the 2024 campaign recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last July, and it's unclear when he'll be able to retake the mound.

Murfee experienced soreness in his surgically repaired right elbow following his rehab appearance with Single-A Fayetteville on Thursday and will be held back from throwing for another day or two, MLB.com reports. The Astros haven't pulled Murfee off his rehab assignment, but it's possible he doesn't make his next appearance until later this week or next week while he waits for the soreness to fully subside. In his first outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last July, Murfee gave up four earned runs on three hits and one walk while retiring just one batter in his 19-pitch appearance with Fayetteville.

Murfee (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Fayetteville on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Murfee has been on the shelf all season while recovering from July 2023 Tommy John surgery, but he's now ready to advance to the final phase of the rehab process after he tossed 25 pitches in a live batting practice session earlier this week. The right-hander is expected to require a handful of appearances in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list and settling into a spot in the Houston bullpen, likely at some point in September.

Murfee (elbow) tossed 25 pitches in live batting practice at the Astros' spring training facility in Florida on Monday, MLB.com reports. Throwing live BP represents another milestone in the recovery process for Murfee, who underwent surgery last July to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow. The Astros could have him throw a couple more live BP sessions before he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Murfee could be an option for the Houston bullpen in late August or early September.
