2024 Fantasy Outlook
Murphy made his major-league debut in 2023 as a multi-inning reliever and achieved a level of success in Boston that he did not have as a starter at Triple-A Worcester. In nine starts for the WooSox, Murphy recorded an 8.35 ERA with 25 walks over 36.2 innings before the lefty was moved to the bullpen. That move to 'pen - he did not allow a run and had just one walk over seven innings - helped set up his mid-summer promotion. For the Red Sox, he had a 4.91 ERA (3.69 FIP) over 47.2 innings (20 appearances). That stretch, however, was heavily influenced by two bad outings. More importantly, Murphy dropped his walk rate from 5.3 BB/9 in the minors to 3.2 in the majors. The Red Sox made pitching an offseason priority, and Murphy is not a lock for a bullpen spot, but he should repeat that role whether he opens at Worcester or Boston. Read Past Outlooks
Begins throwing program
Murphy (elbow) began a throwing program last week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murphy had Tommy John surgery in April and has finally been cleared to begin throwing again. The left-hander is sure to begin next season on the injured list -- perhaps the 60-day IL -- but will hope to contribute out of Boston's bullpen eventually.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Murphy improved his prospect outlook during the first half of 2022 with a 2.70 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 76.2 innings for Double-A Portland, which earned him a promotion to Triple-A Worcester. He struggled a bit at the highest level of the minors with a 5.62 ERA and 58:41 K:BB in 15 starts, but the Red Sox still added him to the 40-man roster in November to protect him from being selected during the Rule 5 draft. Murphy is likely to open 2023 back at Worcester, but a decent showing should be enough to warrant a look in the majors, especially since Boston's rotation is clouded by injury-prone veterans and unproven arms.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To join team in Cleveland
Murphy is expected to be recalled later in the week and could start a game during Boston's upcoming series against Cleveland, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
Cotillo later clarified that a start for Murphy is not yet a sure thing, but he's expected to meet the team in Cleveland. He's spent the better part of the last two seasons at Triple-A and hasn't looked all that sharp to begin 2023, accruing a 7.71 ERA and 1.91 WHIP with a 42:25 K:BB across 39.2 frames.
