Morse spent part of Friday's workout at third base, but it's unlikely he lands there in a game situation, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morse is slated to platoon at first base with John Jaso and hasn't played third since 2009, so this is a move to give the Pirates an emergency option rather than any kind of regular role. Don't plan to see Morse at the hot corner unless at least two of Jung Ho Kang, Josh Harrison, and Sean Rodriguez get injured in the same game.
