Morrison, who went 1-for-3 in Sunday's 8-2 Grapefruit League victory over the Blue Jays, reported that his surgically-repaired wrist was no worse for wear after playing what was his first game in the field this spring, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports. "Everything was good with the wrist," said Morrison after playing five innings Sunday. "The legs are a little tired, but other than that, I'm good. Is [the wrist] 100 percent? No," he said. "But it's something that's gradually getting better. You just have to manage it."
EDGE Analysis
The veteran had served exclusively as a DH in an exhibition against Team Colombia last Wednesday but was deemed ready to test out his wrist at first base Sunday. While Morrison reported still feeling pain on certain throws, he also described the wrist as "much better than it was." Morrison notably hit leadoff Sunday, as manager Kevin Cash remains undecided as to who will be deployed in that role come the regular season. Factoring in Sunday's single, he's 2-for-5 with a double, walk and two runs over his first five at-bats this spring.
