Talking to the media following yesterday’s 7-3 loss to the Marlins, Daniel Murphy revealed he will have to spend time on the Injured List with a fractured left index finger. Murphy revealed to Thomas Harding that the injury occurred in Friday’s victory after the Rockies new first baseman jammed it awkwardly into the infield dirt fielding a ground ball.
The news is a troubling twist of fate considering how Murphy was the Rockies big splash this offseason to improve an offense that was woefully bad for much of last year.
