The Gwinnett Stripers, in conjunction with the Atlanta Braves, announced Monday that Braves catcher Sean Murphy is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with the Stripers on Tuesday, May 21 when the club opens a six-game series against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp at Coolray Field.
The 29-year-old Murphy has been on Atlanta’s 10-day Injured List since March 30 with a strained left oblique muscle, suffered during his first game of the season on March 29 at Philadelphia. He will be the first Braves player to rehab with Gwinnett this season as he spends his first stint in the minors since 2019.
