The injury bug has bitten the Atlanta Braves one too many times this season. It's been incredibly frustrating, and the recent announcement of Sean Murphy's injury surely didn't help. Atlanta announced on Monday that Murphy will miss the rest of the season with a right hip labral tear. He will undergo surgery to repair this, and the recovery timeline is four months.
It feels like everyone had a feeling that something was wrong with Murphy. He hasn't been the same player for more than some spurts here and there. Alex Anthopoulos revealed that Murphy has been dealing with this hip issue for three years.
