PHOENIX (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Mets infielder Daniel Murphy left Thursday night’s game in the third inning after feeling tightness in his left quadriceps.
With third baseman David Wright sidelined indefinitely due to a back injury, Mets manager Terry Collins realigned his infield against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He moved Murphy from second base to third and shifted Ruben Tejada from third back to a more natural spot at second.
Murphy doubled in the first inning and grounded out in the third, but stayed in the dugout for the bottom half of the inning.
