Rest-of-Season Projections
Headed for Tommy John surgery
Murphy is expected to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery later this week, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old righty has spent the entire 2024 season at High-A Rome, piling up 60 strikeouts over 41 innings while pitching to a 1.54 ERA and 0.73 WHIP. Though he hasn't yet been formally deactivated, Murphy hasn't pitched since May 14, and the elbow injury explains why. Given the timing of Murphy's surgery, he could be at risk of missing most, if not all, of the 2025 season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ranked outside of Baseball America and MLB Pipeline's pre-draft top 40, Murphy was selected by Atlanta with the No. 20 overall pick and signed for $850K under slot. A 6-foot-1, 190-pound prep righty from Illinois, Murphy was a two-way prospect in high school who also played third base, but his future is on the mound. His fastball has trended up and now sits in the low-90s with excellent movement. He throws four pitches and has the command and control to start. Prep righties are considered extremely risky for good reason, but every year a couple really pop in their first full pro seasons.
