Rockies' Tom Murphy starting at catcher on Thursday

Colorado Rockies catcher Tom Murphy is starting behind the plate for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Tony Wolters will get the day off with Murphy batting eighth in Wolters' stead.

Murphy has just 8 plate appearances on the year, but the Rockies, at 5.95 runs, have the highest implied total for today's slate. At a price of $2,800, who knows what could happen in the backend of the high-powered Colorado offense.
