Injury Update: Murphy has a strained right hamstring, will skip winter ball

Many reported yesterday that he had a right knee injury, but in fact - Daniel Murphy suffered a hamstring injury in winter ball.

An MRI has revealed a Grade II strain of the right hamstring. Murphy won’t play in Puerto Rico at all this winter, though that has as much to do with a heavy workload this year as the injury itself.

He’s expected to be fine by spring training. Murphy hurt himself in Arizona during batting practice on Nov. 11 and hadn’t played since.
