Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a contract with the Rays in June of 2019. Traded to the Astros in August of 2022.
Sharp as opener Friday
Murray didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-3 rout of Atlanta, allowing one hit over three scoreless innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.
Analysis
Making just his third big-league appearance, Murray faced one batter over the minimum as the opener while tossing an efficient 32 of 40 pitches for strikes. The Astros currently have only four healthy starting pitchers and seemingly no help coming from either Triple-A or the injured list, so they could be turning to their well-stocked bullpen every fifth turn through the rotation, with Murray likely to be part of that equation. The 28-year-old righty hasn't given up a run in his first 5.1 MLB innings, and Friday's third-inning single by Marcell Ozuna was the first baserunner he'd allowed.

Murray was not added to the Astros' 40-man roster and will be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft, reports Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.
Analysis
Murray was acquired by Houston in the deal that sent Jose Siri to Tampa Bay. Murray spent much of the 2022 season in Double-A and made one start at Triple-A while in the Rays' organization. The 25-year-old posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 2.91 K/BB in 108 innings overall in 2022. With only 4.1 innings pitched at the Triple-A level, he's not a lock to be selected in December's Rule 5 Draft.
