Murphy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy hits the bench even with a righty (Logan Webb) starting for the Giants. The veteran is hitting just .265/.303/.382 this season, so it's no surprise that the Rockies are turning to younger alternatives at first base. Josh Fuentes gets the nod Wednesday.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy often sits against left-handed starting pitchers, but his absence from the lineup Wednesday can be explained by the Rockies and Diamondbacks wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game. Ryan McMahon will step in at first base for the 35-year-old veteran, who is batting .358 with three home runs and 13 RBI over 56 plate appearances on the season.

Murphy is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy started the first two games of the series against lefties and went 5-for-9 with a home run and five RBI, but he'll receive a breather in the series finale with lefty Justus Sheffield pitching for Seattle. Ryan McMahon will move to first base Sunday while Garrett Hampson starts at the keystone.
