PHOENIX -- The D-backs' catching depth took a hit when Jeff Mathis sustained a hand injury in July, but it appears they could bolster that depth a bit when September callups are announced Friday.
John Ryan Murphy was in the D-backs' clubhouse Thursday morning, familiarizing himself with the club in anticipation of a promotion from Triple-A Reno once Major League rosters expand.
"Obviously we dealt for him and knew what he would be able to bring to this organization," manager Torey Lovullo said of Murphy, who was acquired from the Twins on July 27 in exchange for left-hander Gabriel Moya.
