Nationals sit Daniel Murphy (glute) again versus Arizona
Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (glute) is once again out of the lineup as the Nationals take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
What It Means:
A strained glute has kept Murphy out of the starting lineup since September 17. He is expected to be ready for the playoffs though, and has already managed some pinch-hitting appearances. Wilmer Difo will start in Murphy's place at second base and bat second on Thursday.
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.
