Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Murphy will get a breather after each of the Athletics' last five games at either designated hitter or catcher while going a collective 2-for-17 with a home run and eight strikeouts in those contests. Yan Gomes will spell Murphy behind the plate, while Jed Lowrie serves as the team's DH.
