According to a league source, Mets 2B Daniel Murphy suffered a right knee sprain in the Arizona Fall League, which is why he has not played since Nov. 10.

Murphy had been hitting .397 with 18 RBI in 15 games during the AFL.

He has played in 163 games this season, counting his time with the Mets, in the minors and in Arizona.
