Daniel Murphy absent from Friday lineup against Nationals

Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is set to sit Friday against Washington. He was removed from the Thursday game after taking a pitch to the wrist.

Murphy returned for just three games following the loss of more than two weeks to a calf injury. He managed two hits in 10 at-bats after coming back, but his latest issue is not considered serious. His wrist is only bruised.
