ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas Rangers placed outfielder David Murphy on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a sprained right knee.

Murphy, who leads AL rookies with 74 RBIs and 114 hits, is expected to miss two to four weeks. An MRI on his injured knee revealed a sprained posterior cruciate ligament.

YANKEES: Slugger Hideki Matsui began a running program for his sore left knee, and injured pitcher Joba Chamberlain will join him at the team's spring training facility.

After hitting 10 home runs on 58 pitches during his second consecutive day of batting practice on the field, Matsui ran about 90 feet six times in the outfield.

Also headed to Tampa is Chamberlain, on the 15-day disabled list with rotator cuff tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. The right-hander will do exercises and receive treatment in Florida.
