Morales isn't in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morales also took a seat for Sunday's series finale, so this is already his second day off in June. Clint Frazier will slot in as the designated hitter and bat sixth with Morales on the bench.

Morales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees wanted to give backstop Gary Sanchez a night off behind the dish while still keeping his bat in the lineup, so he'll serve as the team's designated hitter while Morales heads to the bench. New York has a slew of high-profile hitters currently rehabbing from injuries, with Didi Gregorius (elbow) likely the closest of the lot to returning. Once Gregorius is back from the IL, Morales could be the player most at risk of losing out on everyday at-bats.

Morales is not starting Monday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Morales has hit just .196/.313/.261 in 42 games with the Athletics and Yankees this season. Gary Sanchez will rest his legs as a designated hitter in his absence, with Austin Romine getting the start behind the plate.

Morales is starting at DH and hitting fifth in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morales is set to make his Yankees debut after being acquired by New York earlier in the week. With the amount of injuries the Yankees are currently dealing with, Morales could be in line for semi-regular opportunities in the short term. Prior to be acquired by New York, Morales hit .204/.310/.259 with one homer in 34 games with the A's.

Morales was acquired by the Yankees from the Athletics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Morales was designated for assignment by Oakland on Monday, and he'll now head to the Yankees in exchange for cash considerations and either a player to be named later or more cash considerations. The 35-year-old veteran had been scuffling at the dish for Oakland, with a .204/.310/.259 slash line and just one homer over 108 at-bats and figures to take on a depth role for New York. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees shifted Jonathan Loaisiga to the 60-day injured list.

Manager Bob Melvin told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Monday that the Athletics have designated Morales for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

The writing was on the wall for Morales' removal from the 40-man roster after Khris Davis (hip) made his return to the lineup Sunday against the Indians after a multi-game absence. With Davis and Matt Olson both back to full health and set to occupy the designated-hitter and first-base spots, respectively, on an everyday basis, the Athletics didn't have much use for Morales in a bench role. Oakland will now have up to 10 days to try trading Morales, who will likely hit the free-agent pool rather than accept a minor-league assignment if the A's can't find a suitor for his services.

Morales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

With Khris Davis (hip) checking back in at designated hitter following a multi-game absence and Matt Olson recently returning from the injured list to replace primary duties at first base, there's no longer room in the everyday lineup for Morales. Since Morales lack of defensive or baserunning value makes him a poor fit for a bench role, his days on the Athletics' 40-man roster could be numbered.
