EDGE Analysis

With Jose Abreu struggling this season and the White Sox not getting much from the DH spot, the team opted to sign Morneau in hopes of giving the offense a boost. The 35-year-old hit .319 and .310 in 2014 and 2015, respectively, showing he can still handle the bat. However, his history of injuries should not be forgotten. GM Rick Hahn is hopeful that Morneau will begin a rehab assignment soon and be ready to join the big club in mid-to-late July.
