The New York Mets took a huge hit to their lineup today.
Daniel Murphy suffered a Grade 2 tear of his medial collateral ligament in his left knee. The injury took place during Sunday's game.
Reports already say that Murphy is done for the season. He does not need surgery, but will have a four-month recovery period. Murphy strained his MCL in his right knee last season and did have to go through rehab for the injury.
Nick Evans is expected to take Murphy's first base role and spot in the lineup. Ike Davis would have received the open spot, but he, too, is done for the season.
Murphy was hitting .318 with 6 home runs and 48 RBI's in 390 at-bats.
