Murphy (hamstring) is expected to return to the Nationals' lineup Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of masnsports.com reports.

He was scratched from Friday's lineup due to general leg soreness, and although Murphy said he'd be good to go Saturday, manager Dusty Baker is giving the 31-year-old one more day off as a precaution. Murphy, one of the game's hottest hitters entering the All-Star break, is expected to start at first base Sunday against Chad Kuhl and the Pirates.
