Daniel Murphy (hamstring) returns for Nationals on Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is starting on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

After missing two games for what manager Dusty Baker termed "general soreness," Murphy is playing second base on Wednesday and batting third versus Phillies right-hander Mark Leiter. Howie Kendrick will be available off the Nationals' bench.

numberFire's models project Murphy to score 10.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,400 and the Nationals have an implied total of 4.95 runs on Wednesday.
