Murphy (hamstring) logged five at-bats in a minor league game Saturday, Matt Ehalt of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

It's a positive step forward in Murphy's recovery from a pulled right hamstring, though the true extent of his activity in the game remains uncertain. As of Wednesday, Murphy was still limited in his baseball activity, and it seems likely his running was restricted at least a bit. The Mets figure to keep Murphy in minor league games for the rest of spring training in case they do indeed need to backdate a DL stint to begin the year.
