Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Out again Monday
Murphy (leg) is out of the lineup Monday against the Marlins, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
Analysis:
Murphy will sit for the second straight day as he continues to battle what the team is calling "buttocks" pain. It's unclear whether the issue is anything to be concerned about, but the Nats, who sit comfortably atop the NL East, certainly won't take any chances over the final two weeks of the regular season. Wilmer Difo will get the starting nod at second base Monday.
