[1] Fully healthy for 2016,Murphy split time between the Short Season-A Vancouver Canadians and the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts. He made 21 appearances during the 2016 season,15 of which were starts,and posted a 4–6 win–loss record,3.18 earned run average (ERA),and 68 strikeouts in 902⁄3 innings pitched.
