Nationals put Daniel Murphy, Joaquin Benoit on DL

The Washington Nationals have put second baseman Daniel Murphy and right-handed reliever Joaquin Benoit on the 10-day disabled list.

The Nationals also put righty Koda Glover on the 60-day DL and selected the contract of catcher Miguel Montero on Tuesday, when Washington hosted the Minnesota Twins in the final exhibition game for both teams.

Murphy had surgery on his right knee shortly after last season ended and had been expected all along to miss the start of this season.

The 40-year-old Benoit, who joined the Nationals during spring training as a free agent, strained his right forearm during spring training.
