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