The bloggers from Ladies Locker Room were out in Peoria, AZ, to catch an Arizona Fall League game this past weekend, during which they interview a variety of players.
However, according to their most recent post, Mets 2B Daniel Murphy did not play over the weekend.
He was seen wearing a wrap around his forearm on Saturday, most likely due to an in-game collision that took him to the hospital on Friday night.
Murphy is not in today’s lineup as well, according to MiLB.com.
…Update…8:05 pm…
‘Murphy is expected to return to action in a day or two after taking a spike to the forearm last Friday,’ according to Bart Hubbuch at his blog for the New York Post.
Hubbuch also provides details of the injury, which, as stated above, forced Murphy to be taken to the a Phoenix hospital.

He walked in the first inning and was removed from the game after being caught stealing second. Though technically he was not replaced until the third inning since he was DHing.
A wrap? Sounds like no big deal. All wrist injuries scare me, though…see: Delgado 2007.
…I thought the season starts in April. What is he doing getting hurt now? Supposed to wait Daniel. You can tell this guy is a rookie.
Who let Moises Alou near these guys? First Tatis, now Murphy. Watch out, Nick Evans… watch out.
The curse of left field….Maybe we should move Castillo out there…
I have a better idea. castillo should play in every play. i would say about 30 ft 3 inches from home plate and directly in front of the mound. We can call that position, YF (as in, you’re f’d).
He was playing 2b tho — a position more cursed since Willie took over for Wally Backman. Samuel, Alomar, Baerga — one disaster after another. They either lose all the talent they once had or get hurt. Even Jose Reyes got hurt when moved there.
Edgardo Alfonzo. Second baseman mas fina!
ooooh noooo i hope the d-rex isn’t extinct…..you know what mets blog. i don’t have you f’ing impress you.
He’s hurt? Now he’s a real Met.
Fire Omar.
Too soon?
there is a picture (of murphy with said ‘wrap’ on) that we have that will be up soon on LLR…
time to package him in a deal for holliday!
is anyone listening to a-hole francesa…keeps saying the mets run their mouths and don’t back it up…who on this team runs their mouth…maybe im missing something
don’t know about running their mouths, but they sure don’t back ANYTHING up
you need to stop listening to him. crap comes out of his mouth especially against the New York Mets.
“you can tell jimmy rollins that we’re the team to beat”
-Carlos Beltran
Even if it was half kidding he still said it
right but he was kidding
things to note:
1. Fatcessa just want mets fans to feel like utter crap. stop listening to him. i notice that fatcessa seems to be picking on david wright a lot since the 2006 season especially during the 06 AllStar game festival.
2. i bet if ,heaven forbid, the mets trade David Wright. Fatcessa and the Yankees would be first in line to try and get wright from the team that he is traded to.
3. so who is going to be Mr. Santa Claus this holiday. Heilman or Sho?
hopefully someone else because heilman and schoe (double for schoe) will be so long gone i have forgotten all about them
Injuries will heal so I think playing is most important for him to mature as fast of possible. Play all year Murph. Get ready to be the opening day second basemen 09.
I’m just happy the Mets docs didn’t fly to AZ and wrapped Murph’s LEG.
Good to hear it was just a cut… As long as the Mets quacks keep their mitts off it, Murph will be fine,
Daniel Murphy blogged on http://www.aflmets.mlblogs.com and his forearm is fine!
I love Murphy as much as any Mets fan, but I worry that we’re starting to expect way too much from him. Remember that we’re basing our expectations on a grand total of 156 plate appearances above AA. In the majors last year, he was consistently protected against LH pitching, getting only 13 PAs against them, and he has a career minor league OPS of over 100 points lower against them. His MLB BABIP was also over 70 points higher than his career minor league BABIP, so it’s unrealistic to expect him to keep producing at the same level as he did last season. Even if he adjusts well to pitchers having scouting reports and adjusting to his current weaknesses- and that’s a very big if- we really shouldn’t be expecting more than a slightly above average 2B long term, even if he sticks there. That would be a great improvement there that wouldn’t cost us anything so I certainly wouldn’t complain about it, but I wish people would stop treating him like an elite prospect or a probable All-Star. It would obviously be great if he turns out that way, but expecting that in this market means that coming up short of those expectations would be considered a failure by many, which just isn’t fair to him or the organization.
yup
