Braves' Sean Murphy takes step towards return from oblique injury

The Atlanta Braves are rolling this season and that's without their sluggers thriving so far. On top of that, first-string catcher Sean Murphy hasn't played since Opening Day against the Philadelphia Phillies when he strained his oblique.

Although Murphy isn't quite ready to return, he took an important step towards getting behind the dish again on Wednesday.

Via David O'Brien:

“Braves’ Sean Murphy has caught bullpen sessions the past two days, another progression in his rehab from left oblique strain. He’s making strong throws, but has yet to begin swinging a bat.
