Daniel Murphy

Nationals' Daniel Murphy (glute) remains sidelined against Arizona

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (glute) is once again out of the starting lineup on Wednesday.

What It Means:

This will be the 10th straight missed start for Murphy, but the Nationals believe that he will be ready to go for the playoffs. Trea Turner will start at second base and bat leadoff on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old Murphy is enjoying career-highs across the board with a .347/.391/.596 slash, .409 wOBA and .249 ISO in 581 plate appearances. His 25 home runs and 104 RBI's are also the most he's put up in a season.
