Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is set to begin his rehab assignment. According to the Braves Triple-A affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers, Murphy is scheduled to play in their home opener on Tuesday, April 1.
No timetable was given for how long Murphy will spend with them. However, it was projected when he got injured that he would be back in early April.
Murphy is on the Braves’ 10-day injured list with a cracked rib. He was hit by a pitch in a Spring Training Feb. 28. He was officially placed on the 10-Day Injured List ahead of the regular season on March 25.
