From Adam Rubin of ESPNNEWYORK
Daniel Murphy suffered a Grade 2 tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and is done for the season, according to a source familiar with the injury. Murphy will not require surgery, but will have a four-month recovery time.Murphy strained the MCL in his other knee last season and also rehabbed the injury. He returned in winter ball wearing a large brace.
I guess there goes the Murphy should be playing second for rest of the year debate. Sorry Shannon. Going to have to stay behind future hall of gamer Jonathan Niese.
The way he left his knee open there, he needs to be taught the fundamentals before ever playing second again. I know Reyes was out and Turner had to go to short…but should that kid have been out there with his skill level at 2B?? This is not a scond guess on my part…I said it a few days ago.
