Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Expects to return Sunday
Murphy (hamstring) is expected to return to the Nationals' lineup Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of masnsports.com reports.
Analysis:
He was scratched from Friday's lineup due to general leg soreness, and although Murphy said he'd be good to go Saturday, manager Dusty Baker is giving the 31-year-old one more day off as a precaution. Murphy, one of the game's hottest hitters entering the All-Star break, is expected to start at first base Sunday against Chad Kuhl and the Pirates.
