Daniel Murphy had an MRI today that revealed a Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring, according to a team press release.

Murphy felt discomfort in his leg during batting practice in the Arizona Fall League on Nov. 11.

According to the team, Murphy will skip winter league ball in Puerto Rico so that he can be ready for Spring Training.

…yesterday, a league source told me it was a ‘knee sprain,’ which of course they had no way of knowing since murphy did not yet have the leg examined…i am not sure if a hamstring is better news, but at least he’ll have plenty of time to rest up
