Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Removed due to leg injury

Manager Dusty Baker said Murphy was removed from Friday's game against the Giants for precautionary reasons after his leg "tightened up," Mark Zuckerman of MASN reports.

Analysis:

Baker's comments seem to downplay Murphy's injury, which provides reason to believe he is dealing with only a minor setback. It remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup for Saturday's game, however.
