The Atlanta Braves just can't deal with any injuries at the moment, as they're playing as the best team in the National League.

If everything goes as planned for Atlanta over the next few months, there's reason to believe they can be just as good as any team in the National League come playoff time, as there's that much talent in Atlanta.
Some guys are just as important as any other, and while veteran Sean Murphy is a very good player, he's had some struggles over the past year or so. When Murphy is playing at his best, he's one of the better catchers in baseball.
Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case recently, and it sounds like that might only become a bigger problem, as he’s set to undergo an X-ray on his hand and fingers early this week.
“The Braves said they won’t have an update on Sean Murphy’s hand/fingers until Tuesday.
“Sean Murphy had an X-ray of a finger that was clipped on the catcher’s interference. Weiss felt like he would be fine,” Mark Bowman wrote.
Murphy, 31 years old, is hitting just .071 with zero home runs, zero RBIs, and has a .143 OPS. He's only had 14 at-bats due to being injured prior to this, but wasn't exactly great a year ago either, with a .199 average and 15 home runs.
