Picard56 1,139 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 6 minutes ago, Members_Only_76 said: Murphy (knee) to start rehab games Saturday Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports that Daniel Murphy (knee) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday. It qualifies as a nice surprise, as Murphy as of earlier this week hadn't been able to play in extended spring training games because he was sick. How many rehab games Murphy will require before being activated isn't known, but it surely will be a good number of them since he's been out all season following last Daniel Murphy last October's microfracture surgery on his right knee.

billofwa 325 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Until he is activated it is all hearsay as far as I am concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
billofwa 325 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 1-4 in first rehab game. Assuming he felt fine. Link to post Share on other sites

BigPapi44 1,050 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 2nd Rehab game underway at AA Harrisburg. Don't look now, 2-3, 2B, HR and 6 RBI. Yes, it moved! Link to post Share on other sites
billofwa 325 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The fact that he played back to back in his first two games is great. Link to post Share on other sites

In April Murphy said that he would only need a week to get ready. I bet we will have a clearer idea about a return date later this week. Link to post Share on other sites

If he feels he's had enough ABs/looks at the plate and enough game action in the field to where he feels comfortable, both physically and mentally (that the knee is stable), he will be activated. Previously, he said in the past that he has not needed many ABs to get game ready. That was in the context of whether or not he would be ready for opening day, he said he has gone into the season in past years with very few ABs and been fine with it.

billofwa 325 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just read that he said his bat is ready and he ran the bases well going from 1st to 3rd on a single. If everything holds up physically I bet he is activated next week. Link to post Share on other sites
MackAttack007 5 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Could see him even being activated this upcoming weekend. Looks like the bat is ready, probably just more of an issue with conditioning and fielding right now. Link to post Share on other sites

Could be back by next weekend if his knee holds up running and in the field after multiple 9 inning games this week. Link to post Share on other sites
dchamps 199 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If only he was ready a few days sooner - would have been nice transition for him to DH while in Baltimore. Link to post Share on other sites
dchamps 199 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Also not sure I saw it in here, but Saturday and Sunday he played 7 innings at 2B before being taken out and had the day off yesterday. Next step maybe back to back 9 inning games defensively then back to the Nats over the weekend in Atlanta? Link to post Share on other sites
billofwa 325 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 CBS has a story and quotes Dave Martinez as saying when Murphy goes from feeling 'pretty good' to 'really good' he will be back up. For whatever that is worth. Link to post Share on other sites
billofwa 325 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Murphy set to play 2 more games and then will be re-evaluated. Which tells us nothing Link to post Share on other sites
