ATLANTA -- Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy was scratched from the lineup Thursday with tightness in his right leg.
Manager Dusty Baker said he could tell Murphy wasn't following through with his swing during Wednesday's 14-4 win over Atlanta. Murphy walked twice but was hitless in four at-bats.
Baker added that shortstop Trea Turner, on the 10-day disabled list since April 10 with a strained right hamstring, will be activated before Friday's game at the New York Mets but isn't likely to start.
Left fielder Jayson Werth was held out of Thursday's lineup with a sore groin.
