Brewers recall Owen Murphy from Triple-A

ATL Starting Pitcher

Player Stats

Braves recalled RHP Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Murphy allowed two runs during his lone inning of work in relief during his big-league debut against the Mets last week. The 22-year-old is one of Atlanta’s top pitching prospects but he’s extremely unlikely to make a fantasy impact this season, especially since he’s likely to continue pitching out of the bullpen for now. He figures to gobble up innings behind fellow rookie JR Ritchie during Sunday’s first-half finale against the Cardinals.

Braves optioned RHP Owen Murphy to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Murphy gave up three runs (two earned) over 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Saturday. He’ll return to the rotation at the Triple-A level where he’ll stand ready for the next time the Braves have an injury or require a spot starter.

Owen Murphy allowed three runs (two earned) in 2 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Rangers on Saturday.

Murphy gave up five hits, walked two and struck out two. He started what was essentially a bullpen game for the Braves. Murphy managed to pitch into the third inning, but gave up three runs in his third big league appearance. He’s one of the Braves’ top pitching prospects, but Murphy is unlikely to have much fantasy value in a bullpen role.

Braves optioned RHP Owen Murphy to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Murphy made his MLB debut Monday, and he allowed two runs — one earned — over an inning of work. The 22-year-old will head back to Triple-A with Connor Thomas giving Atlanta a fresh arm. Murphy will likely be back before the end of the summer.

Braves selected the contract of RHP Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett

The 22-year-old has a 3.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 65/20 K/BB ratio in 60 1/3 Triple-A innings this season. He has a good fastball and slider combination and could conceivably push for a spot in Atlanta’s rotation if he pitches well. However, he will just be a bulk reliever for now, and AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) is about two weeks away from returning to the Braves’ rotation, which will give Murphy another hurdle to overcome. We’d keep him on waiver wires in fantasy leagues for now.

2022 first-round pick Owen Murphy is slated for Tommy John surgery.

A tough break for one of the Braves’ top prospects. Murphy, 20, had a 1.54 ERA and a 60/12 K/BB ratio for high-A Rome this season. He’ll likely be sidelined until at least the middle of 2025.

Braves signed first-round pick RHP Owen Murphy.

Jim Callis of MLB.com reports that Murphy will receive a signing bonus of $2.5569 million, which is notably below the assigned slot value for the No. 20 overall pick of $3.4092 million. Murphy was considered to be one of the more polished high school arms in the Draft.

ATL Starting Pitcher

Braves selected Riverside-Brookfield HS (IL) RHP Owen Murphy with the 20th pick of the 2022 MLB Draft.

Murphy is also a hitter who hit 18 homers, but the Braves are selecting him as an arm, and for good reason. There are two plus pitches in his right arm in his fastball and slider, and he also can mix in a curveball and change that flash average. He is considered one of the more polished arms, and he has a chance to throw strike with all four offerings. The Braves have done wonders with this type of profile, and Murphy could be starting for Atlanta by the end of 2025.

Padres activated LHP Wandy Peralta from the bereavement list.

The 34-year-old southpaw rejoins the Padres’ bullpen for Sunday’s series finale against the Royals. Peralta has been a key cog in the club’s bullpen this season, compiling a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 31/19 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings of work. Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Padres designated RHP Ron Marinaccio for assignment.

Marinaccio has made 33 appearances out of the Padres’ bullpen this season, registering a 4.79 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 38/18 K/BB ratio over 47 innings of work. With so many teams looking for bullpen help, it’s possible that he could attract interest on waivers.

Christian Walker (hip) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Orioles.

Walker made an early exit from Saturday’s game after sustaining the injury while swinging the bat. He was able to participate in drills on the field prior to Sunday’s game though and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list, so he’s considered day-to-day. LaMonte Wade Jr. will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup for the Astros on Sunday.

Jeremy Peña (hamstring) is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles.

The good news is that Peña feels much improved after exiting Saturday’s game with a right hamstring cramp and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list. Nick Allen will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth for the Astros against Brandon Young and the Orioles on Sunday afternoon in Houston.

Astros recalled INF Raynel Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Delgado joins the Astros on Sunday to add some infield depth with both Christian Walker and Jeremy Pena banged up. He’s unlikely to see enough action to gain any sort of relevance from a fantasy perspective. Nate Pearson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the Astros’ active roster.

Astros designated RHP Nate Pearson for assignment.

The 29-year-old right-hander pitched decently in 16 appearances for the Astros this season, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 16/12 K/BB ratio over 20 innings. He flashed enough during that stretch that he could generate some interest on waivers from bullpen-needy clubs.

Kyle Harrison (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Saturday without any issues.

Harrison underwent a precautionary MRI recently that came back clean for any structural issues. The last hurdle for him to clear before returning from the injured list will be to face live hitters. He’s eligible to return from the injured list on Friday, though it may be optimistic to expect him back the first day that he’s eligible.

Kolek had been away from the team since July 4 due to a family medical emergency — the second time he had been placed on the list this season. He’s now dealing with an elbow issue and will have as much time away from the club as he needs.
