Daniel Murphy

Daniel Murphy is out of the Nationals' lineup Sunday afternoon

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

It appears to be a routine day off as Murphy is expected to be back in the lineup for the nightcap on Sunday. Adrian Sanchez is filling in at second base.

For the rest of the season, our models project Murphy for a .327 batting average with 8 homers, and 30 RBI.
