Murphy (knee) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Murphy had his rehab at extended spring training slowed due to an illness, but it apparently didn't have enough of an impact to significantly delay the rehab assignment. The 33-year-old will likely need significant work in Harrisburg in order to regain game readiness, but he still seems on track for a return sometime in mid-June.

Murphy (knee) has not appeared in games at extended spring training due to an illness, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Murphy reported to the Nationals' spring training facility last week, but a "horrible bug" and some bad weather have ultimately kept the second baseman out of action during his time there. The 33-year-old remains without a timetable for his return at this point, but one will hopefully come into focus once he gets into game action down in Florida.
