Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Rejoins Nats on Friday

Murphy will return to camp for the Nationals on Friday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

With only 10 games left on their spring exhibition schedule, including split-squad games Friday, the Nats don't have much time left to get Murphy ready for Opening Day after he received only six at-bats during the WBC while playing behind Ian Kinsler at second base for Team USA. Don't be surprised if Murphy gets off the slow start this season while the 31-year-old tries to find the timing on his swing.
