Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Returns to lineup for Game 1

Murphy (upper leg) is in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday, Chase Hughes of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Murphy missed a good chunk of September with an upper leg injury, but as expected, the All-Star is back to full health and ready to contribute to the Nationals' postseason run. He'll man second base and bat cleanup against Dodgers' starter Clayton Kershaw.
