Daniel Murphy out of Nationals' lineup again on Friday
Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (leg) remained out of the Nationals' lineup Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Murphy has missed five straight games with soreness in his leg and there has been no word on a possible return. Stephen Drew will handle second base duties on Friday and bat sixth against Jameson Taillon.
The 31-year-old Murphy is enjoying career-highs across the board with a .348/.392/.598 slash, .410 wOBA and .250 ISO in 579 plate appearances. His 25 home runs and 104 RBI's are also the most he's put up in a season.
