Murphy is in the lineup and batting leadoff against the Twins on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy has excelled in the leadoff role in recent days, hitting homers in back-to-back days before getting the night off Thursday. Considering Murphy is batting in front of Kole Calhoun, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, the 33-year-old outfielder could turn in some very lucrative numbers if he continues to find himself atop the batting order.
