Daniel Murphy

Daniel Murphy not in Washington's lineup Sunday in New York

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is not in the lineup Sunday against the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Murphy will take the day off right before the All Star Break, so Wilmer Difo is in the lineup at second base and batting ninth against right-hander Corey Oswalt.

Our models project Murphy for a .271 batting average with 2 home runs, 12 runs scored, and 12 RBI over 106 plate appearances remaining this season.
