Morneau underwent elbow surgery in December and will not be able to swing a bat until June, La Velle Neal III of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morneau reportedly wasn't in talks with many teams about a roster spot, and now it's clear why. The first baseman reportedly said that he thought he only had tendinitis in his elbow, but then discovered things were much worse. This is a tough break for the former-MVP, as it'll now be much tougher to find a landing spot now that teams will have to work with him through a rehab process.
