Daniel Murphy out until at least Wednesday
Daniel Murphy - 2B - New York Mets
March 18, 2013 - 8:15 AM ET

Daniel Murphy (intercostal) remains stiff and won't be ready to play in a minor league game until at least Wednesday.

Mets manager Terry Collins indicated that it's possible Murphy might not be ready for the start of the season, and he said Jordany Valdespin is the contingency plan at third base if both Murphy and David Wright need DL time. Murphy has been out since straining an intercostal muscle early in camp.
