Murphy went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in an 8-4 win over the Orioles on Friday.

The RBI single came off a lucky bloop, but a hit is a hit. This was his first multi-hit game for his new team and he has yet to record an extra-base hit. It will just be a matter of time before Murphy finds some rhythm with his new squad.

Murphy has been traded to the Angels, Joel Sherman of MLB Network reports.

With the Indians playing in a National League ballpark, Murphy will be squeezed out of the lineup, even though he owns a .307/.354/.453 slash line against right-handed pitchers this season. He may eventually lose some at-bats to Nick Swisher (knee), who started a rehab assignment at Low-A Lake County on Monday.

Murphy is typically strong against right-handed pitching, as evidenced by his .325/.373/.463 slash line against righty starters this season, but he'll be on the bench for Saturday's game.

Murphy went 2-for-4 out of the clean-up spot with two runs scored and an RBI in the 10-8 win over Texas on Saturday.

Murphy is a strict platoon player, but against righties, he'a an absolute killer. All but one at-bat this season has come against righties and if he secures the clean-up role against righties, he'a always a great play in daily formats.

Murphy will get the start at DH Wednesday against the Astros, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

He has a .278/.344/.459 slash line against righties for his career, so it makes sense that the Indians chose to get him a start with righty Scott Feldman on the mound for Houston. Murphy and Ryan Raburn will both see a couple starts per week while Nick Swisher (knee) is sidelined.

Murphy is hitting just .188 (3-for-16) in Cactus League play this spring.

Spring training stats aren't going to mean much for a veteran like Murphy but the encouraging health reports from Brandon Moss and Michael Bourn may put the squeeze on Murphy's playing time when the season starts. Nick Swisher is still in the process of working his way back to full health but Murphy may need a change of scenery to carve out much of a role this season.
