Diamondbacks' John Ryan Murphy not in lineup Saturday against A's

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher John Ryan Murphy is absent from the team's lineup Saturday against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Murphy went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI in last night's start at DH. But, today, he will sit in favor of Paul Goldschmidt at designated hitter and Daniel Descalso at first base.

Slashing .246/.279/.538, Murphy is projected to hit .233 with 3 home runs and 11 RBI the rest of the way.
