Wed Aug 21 2013 | 00:20 | Murphy homers again, but Cubs lose to Nats |
Donnie Murphy went 2-for-4 with his seventh home run against the Nationals on Tuesday. |
Another day, another Donnie Murphy home run. He's now got seven in 48 at-bats, producing a robust and wildly unsustainable .333/.396/.854 line since being called up. We keep waiting for the other shoe to drop -- and it will drop -- but in the meantime, the 30-year-old is getting hard to ignore in mixed leagues. |

Mon Aug 19 2013 | 23:24 | Donnie Murphy homers twice in Cubs' rout |
Donnie Murphy hit a pair of solo homers Monday against the Nationals. |
That's six homers in 44 at-bats for the red-hot Murphy. He's always had decent pop -- he had 18 homers in 577 major league at-bats entering the season -- but this is getting ridiculous now. He'll remain the Cubs' third baseman until he cools off. He really shouldn't have any lasting value in mixed leagues. |

Fri Aug 16 2013 | 20:14 | Donnie Murphy reaches three times |
Donnie Murphy stayed hot Friday, going 2-for-2 with an RBI and a walk against the Cardinals. |
Murphy is hitting .333 with four homers, three doubles and nine RBI in 33 at-bats since his callup. The Cubs will keep using him until he slows down. It should happen before much longer, though. |

Wed Aug 7 2013 | 22:36 | Murphy blasts two homers, Cubs top Phils 5-2 |
Donnie Murphy went 3-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI in the Cubs' 5-2 win over the Phillies on Wednesday. |
Murphy has certainly come out of the gate swinging. Since being recalled on August 3, Murphy is 4-for-9 with three home runs and seven RBI. He's got an extensive track record of performing well below his current level of production, so he's heading toward a cliff in the near future. But it's worth riding him while he's hot in NL-only leagues. |

Tue Jul 31 2012 | 23:56 | Donnie Murphy homers in loss to Braves |
Donnie Murphy hit a solo homer on Tuesday, accounting for all of the Marlins' runs in a loss to the Braves. |
While Murphy has displayed impressive power with his three homers and eight RBI in just 59 at-bats, he's struggling to make consistent contact and hitting only .169. The infielder probably isn't worth the gamble in standard fantasy leagues. |

The Marlins plan to call up infielder Donnie Murphy from Triple-A New Orleans. |
