The Logan Morrison Era in Milwaukee comes to an end after just 28 plate appearances. When the Brewers designated Morrison for assignment, he was not claimed off waivers, and he chose not to accept an outright assignment. His departure paves the way for Justin Smoak and Ryan Braun to see the vast majority of playing time at first base moving forward. With more strikeouts (eight) than hits (three) in his first nine games, its unclear if the 32-year-old Morrison will have other prospects in ...

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Logan Morrison has made the Opening Day roster, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Morrison had a very strong abbreviated spring training and forced his way onto the roster. Morrison lost 20-25 pounds in the last three months and could be a solid power source if he finds at-bats. A universal designated hitter should help his cause, but he'll be fighting for at-bats with Justin Smoak and Ryan Braun. The 32-year-old will likely be a part-time...

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Logan Morrison said that he was on the field six days a week during the coronavirus shutdown, including four days a week facing live arms. Morrison took part in a series of workouts in Palm Beach, Fla., including Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Corey Kluber, Paul Goldschmidt and Giancarlo Stanton. Morrison was making a strong impression for the Opening Day roster in spring training with nine hits (three home runs) in 30 Cactus League at-bats. He feels better...

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Logan Morrison belted a three-run home run against the Reds Sunday. He also connected for another three-run homer the day prior. Morrison is in Brewers camp as a non-roster invitee and is seemingly on the outside looking in for a roster spot on the major league team this year, but his confidence hasn't wavered. When Im healthy, Im a borderline All-Star, Morrison said. Im healthy now. I dont see why that would change. Im another year older, another year wiser. He ...

The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to an undisclosed deal with first baseman/outfielder Logan Morrison on Thursday, according to sources. Morrison slugged a career-high 38 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 149 games for the Rays in 2017, but he has fallen off a cliff since. He hit a miserable .186/.276/.368 with 15 homers and 39 RBI for the Twins in 95 games in 2019 and played in just 29 games last season with the Phillies while slashing .200/.263/.400 with two homers and three RBI. With Justin Smoak ...

The Philadelphia Phillies have called up veteran first baseman Logan Morrison on Wednesday. Morrison has been impressive at Triple-A this season, hitting .308 with 18 home runs in 61 games. His call-up could be related to the injury outfielder Corey Dickerson suffered on Tuesday, as the Phillies would have to shift players around in addition to the offensive loss of Dickerson. Morrison will likely not have a big impact, but with the Phillies looking for any spark they can get, Morrison will get ...

New York Yankees first baseman Logan Morrison has been granted his released from the organization on Thursday. Morrison has hitting fairly decent in the minors, but it appears the Yankees were not in any hurry to call him up. The Yankees elected to recall Mike Ford over Morrison after Luke Voit (abdominal) landed on the injured list. Morrison should land elsewhere, but the chances of him being relevant in fantasy leagues is small.

The New York Yankees are signing free-agent first baseman Logan Morrison to a minor league deal on Friday. The Yankees want some first base depth while Greg Bird (foot) recovers from a plantar fascia tear. Morrison, 31, had a career-high 38 home runs in 2017 with the Rays, but he was an extreme disappointment in 2018 with Minnesota, slashing a weak .186/.276/.368 with 15 homers and 39 RBI in just 95 games. He'll eventually report to Triple-A Scranton/[...]

Statcast is a valuable tool for fantasy analysis, and it can be easy to look at a stat called "Expected Batting Average" and blindly use it as your projection moving forward. Of course, proper use of these metrics is a little bit more nuanced than that.Our series on how to make sabermetrics more accessible to fantasy owners continues with a closer look at one of the newer Statcast metrics. To check out my previous explanation of Statcast for Pitchers, click here.Let's begin by identifying what t[...]
