In the second game of the 2019 season as the Colorado Rockies were on their way to defeating the Miami Marlins in south Florida, Daniel Murphy fractured his finger of his glove hand while making a backhanded grab of a grounder hit by Marlins pitcher Brian Anderson. He remained in the game but, by the next day, Murphy was out of the lineup and on his way to the 10-day injured list.
The veteran infielder would return from the injury on April 22. After telling reporters (including me) in Miami that he wouldn’t put a timetable on his return but, “When I’m back in the lineup, I’m healthy,” it was quickly realized that Murphy wasn’t 100 percent when he returned.
