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.
