The severity of the tear in Morrison's wrist sheath is minimal and he will be back to swinging a bat in 12 weeks, Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a big break for Morrison, as a more severe tear could have sidelined him for up to six months. His season was expected to be over regardless, but now it sounds like he should make a full recovery from surgery in time for spring training. He is a free agent this offseason and is coming off a year when he was exactly a league average hitter (100 wRC+). Morrison hit .244/.352/.526 with four homers in 26 games in the second half to help make up for a mediocre first half. He'll likely sign on as the starting first baseman with a non-contender or as a bench bat with a contending team.
