San Francisco Giants backup catcher Tom Murphy will get an injection for a herniated disk in his back that will sideline him for at least two weeks, and could keep him from being ready for the start of the season.

San Francisco Giants backup catcher Tom Murphy is in danger of missing Opening Day with a herniated disc in his back that required an epidural injection.

When the San Francisco Giants line up on Great American Ballpark’s third-base line on March 27, Tom Murphy likely won’t be among the 26 players in uniform. The Giants announced on Monday morning that Murphy (mid-back disk herniation) will receive an epidural injection and be re-evaluated in the next few weeks.

League insiders are convinced the Giants have their sights on Sanders, but that wouldn't keep them from targeting a veteran at QB.
