Braves Take Series in L.A. With Murphy’s Finger in Question and White in Concussion Protocol

The club awaits medical updates that could force short-term roster moves.

Overview

  • Atlanta beat Los Angeles 7-2 to clinch the three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
  • Catcher Sean Murphy left after a catcher’s interference nicked his finger, and the team says a fuller update will come Tuesday following an X-ray.
  • Manager Walt Weiss said the initial read was positive and that he expected Murphy to be fine.
  • Outfielder Eli White entered concussion protocol after a leaping catch at the wall that stopped a Dodgers rally.
  • If either player misses time, Atlanta could call up Triple-A catchers Chadwick Tromp or Sandy Leon or activate Ha-Seong Kim to cover the outfield for the upcoming Cubs series.
