Daniel Murphy Out At Least A Month
6 years agoColorado Rockies manager Bud Black announced on Tuesday that first baseman Daniel Murphy will miss at least one month due to the avulsion fracture of his left index finger. He suffered the injury fielding a ground ball on Friday and remained in the game to go 1-for-5 with a single. Some combination of Mark Reynolds, Ryan McMahon and Garrett Hampson will cover first and/or second base with Murphy out. McMahon should now be a lineup staple, with Hampson and Reynolds trading off at first and second base. Reynolds is more established and has more power, but Hampson may have more deep league appeal.
