Daniel Murphy - 2B - New York Mets

Daniel Murphy (intercostal strain) is scheduled to hit in the cage on Friday.

Murphy suffered a strained right intercostal muscle early on in camp, but he's getting closer to making his Grapefruit League debut. The Mets are confident that he'll be good to go for the season as long as he gets a couple weeks' worth of at-bats. It's sounds like he's on schedule.
