Daniel Murphy could return this week
Daniel Murphy - 2B - New York Mets

The Mets are hoping to get Daniel Murphy (intercostal strain) back in the lineup before the end of the week.

Murphy has not played since February 18 due to a strained intercostal muscle. He won't need many at-bats to get ready for the season, so he should be fine for Opening Day as long as he doesn't have a setback.
