Murphy, 33, is expected to miss multiple weeks, with the Giants' season opener set for March 27 at Cincinnati.
Murphy played in just 13 games last season, collecting four hits in 34 at-bats. In nine major league seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2015-18), Seattle Mariners (2019, 2021-23) and Giants, he is a career .239 hitter with 49 home runs and 128 RBIs.
The Giants have catchers Max Stassi and Sam Huff in camp behind starter Patrick Bailey. Adrian Sugastey was given a non-roster invitation to major league camp.
