Daniel Murphy

Daniel Murphy not in Nationals' Wednesday lineup

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Murphy is getting the afternoon off after starting on Tuesday evening for the Nats. Wilmer Difo is back at second base and hitting seventh versus right-hander Trevor Williams.

Our models project Murphy for a .275 batting average with 2 home runs, 12 runs scored, and 13 RBI over 111 plate appearances remaining this season.
