Murphy will retreat to the dugout Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks during a win in Friday's series opener. Drake Baldwin will start behind the plate in Murphy's absence, and Dominic Smith will serve as the DH.

The veteran catcher has caught fire at the plate now that he's fully healthy for the first time in a few years. Murphy has hit safely in five straight games, batting .500 (9-for-18) during that heater with two doubles, three homers, seven runs and seven RBI. Murphy's surge has allowed Drake Baldwin to get more rest while serving as Atlanta's primary DH, and Murphy should continue to see regular playing time as the team tries to keep its key players fresh for the playoffs.
