In the interim, hes gone 0-for-3 in three pinch-hit appearances.I felt really good out there, Murphy said on Thursday afternoon after the Nationals workout.The trainer put me through a good workout and kind of tapered it down a little bit today, just a little bit of a recovery day. But it was good to hit the bases, and I felt really good.Baker did acknowledge that there is some concern over Murphys ability to run the bases effectively, which is part of the reason his division series roster features only seven relievers.We needed the extra bodies instead of going with eight guys in the bullpen, Baker said. We have some guys banged up, some guys that we may have to hit for or run for ... certain guys that are ailing, a la Murphy and a couple of the guys.Murphy, who finished second in the National League with a .347 average, hasnt batted fourth since Aug. 6.
