Daniel Murphy Continues To Roll Saturday Versus Phillies
6 years agoChicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy continued to make a mark on the stat line with his new team Saturday versus Philadelphia. He would collect another hit and a run scored on the way to a 7-1 victory. Murphy has collected 14 hits over his past 10 games which marks the beginning of his stretch with the Cubs. Murphy is one of the better hitters in baseball and looks to be in a good place in the Cubs lineup for fantasy relevancy. Do not panic that we are starting to see Murphy getting pulled late in games. Addison Russell has returned to the team and thus the Cubs are likely to pull Murphy late in games to try to make sure they have the best defensive middle infield. Russell is not going to relegate Murphy to oblivion, so avoid Russell outside of deep formats and keep up faith with Murphy.
