Murray, who hasn't played since Wimbledon last year, underwent hip surgery in January.
The 31-year-old had planned to play his first grass tournament of the year at the Libema Open in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, which begins on June 11.
"I am not quite ready to return. I am still aiming to play in the coming weeks, but I want to be 100% when I do return," said Murray.
"It is with regret that I won't be ready to play in Hertogenbosch. I was excited to play there for the first time.
"I've been out close to a year now, which is a lot longer than me or any of my team expected, but I'm getting closer to playing again," added Murray.
"I've started training a few days ago and am hoping to make my comeback during the grass-court season."
