2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
After posting a disappointing .636 OPS in just 74 games during 2024, Murphy bounced back early in 2025 with an .822 OPS through the end of May. He struggled to a .631 OPS the rest of the season, however, and finished the campaign in a 4-for-59 slump before being shut down in early September due to a labral tear in his right hip, which he's apparently dealt with throughout the past three years. An expected recovery timeline of four months should allow Murphy to be healthy for the start of 2026, but his availability certainly isn't guaranteed coming off major surgery. Drake Baldwin burst onto the scene to win NL Rookie of the Year in 2025, which should give him a slight edge for the No. 1 catching job, assuming both players are healthy. Murphy should still receive at least semi-regular starts between catcher and designated hitter, though the signing of Mike Yastrzemski should allow Jurickson Profar to see more run at DJ. Murphy is only two years removed from posting an .843 OPS during his first year in Atlanta, but his sub-.200 average the last two seasons and the emergence of Baldwin could result in more of a lesser role in 2026.
