Morse (oblique) will be available off the bench for Game 1 of the NLCS on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News reports. Morse deemed himself 100 percent healthy earlier in the week, but it sounds like manager Bruce Bochy will stick with the same lineup that earned his team a 3-1 series victory in the NLDS, at least for the opener. Perhaps Morse will start a couple games in the series, though his limitations in left field may lead Bochy to continue starting Travis Ishikawa.
