Atlanta Braves starting catcher Sean Murphy will miss the start of the season with a rib injury, MLB.com reported Monday.

The former All-Star and Gold Glove winner will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a cracked rib on his left side.

Top prospect Drake Baldwin is a candidate to replace Murphy behind the plate for Opening Day at San Diego on March 27.

Murphy, 30, batted .193 with 10 homers and 25 RBIs in 72 games with the Braves in 2024. He is a career .233 hitter with 77 homers and 240 RBIs in 510 games with the then-Oakland Athletics (2019-22) and Braves.

Murphy made the National League All-Star team in 2023 and collected a Gold Glove at catcher with the A’s in 2021.
