Nationals | Daniel Murphy has sore leg
Washington Nationals 2B Daniel Murphy (leg) was not in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday, Sept. 20, due to soreness in his left leg. He's expected to return as early as Wednesday, Sept. 21.  Source: The Associated Press
 
BHQ take: Murphy has missed several games and now will be out until some time next week. Given the Nationals' main goal is to get him ready for the postseason, it's possible the Nats' best hitter in 2016 might only get a handful of at-bats the rest of the regular season.  —Phil Hertz
 
Impact: High
