Morrison is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rays manager Kevin Cash isn't as reluctant as he was in 2016 to deploy Morrison against left-handed pitchers like the Cubs' Jon Lester now that the first baseman has finally tapped into his power potential, but Morrison will get a breather after starting 14 consecutive contests. Morrison's move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Trevor Plouffe, who will hit fifth.

Morrison went 2-for-3 with two homers, two walks, and three RBI Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison crushed a pair of homers off Dylan Bundy to give him 24 on the year, helping lead the Rays to a divisional win. Although his batting average is uninspiring, he's been a great source of power, and he boasts an excellent .581 slugging percentage.

Morrison went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs and three RBI Friday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison crushed his 22nd homer of the year and was one of a few hitters to have a big game against the Orioles, as the Rays scored 15 runs. Despite a weak batting average, he has an elite .938 OPS, and has been an excellent value for fantasy owners.

Morrison went 2-for-4 with three RBI from a two-run home run and a solo shot in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Tigers. He also drew a walk and scored thrice.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison has multi-hit efforts in three of his last six games and has been on a home-run tear, launching four round trippers during that stretch. The slugging first baseman has also driven in nine of his 11 runs for the month over that span, and he's now just two homers away from equaling the career-high 23 it took him 123 games to compile in 2011 while with the Marlins.

Morrison went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison's 400-foot shot in the eighth brought the Rays within a run in a comeback attempt that ultimately fell short. The veteran infielder has round trippers in back-to-back games and four overall in the last 10 contests while also leading the team i both homers (19) and RBI (43).

Morrison went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old now has 18 homers on the season and is well on pace for a career high in that category, but perhaps the most impressive thing about Morrison's campaign to date has been his consistency -- after going yard on Opening Day he then went seven games before hitting another, and that remains his longest homerless streak so far in 2017.

Morrison is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Rays manager Kevin Cash will limit the amount of left-handed bats in his lineup with southpaw Ariel Miranda on the hill for the Mariners, so Morrison and Colby Rasmus are both receiving the day off. Morrison's .243 average leaves something to be desired, but fantasy owners are willing to accept mediocre production in that category so long as the first baseman continues to supply career-best power numbers. With 16 home runs just over a third of the way through the campaign, Morrison is just seven shy of matching his career high for a single season.

Morrison went 1-for-4 with a ninth-inning solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran first baseman launched a 420-foot solo shot off Seattle closer Edwin Diaz in the ninth, a meaningless run in terms of the big picture but a shot that served as Morrison's fourth round tripper in the last eight contests. The 29-year-old is now just one homer away from matching his best total in that category over the last six seasons, and seven away from equaling the career-high 23 he hit in Miami back in 2011.

Morrison went 2-for-3 with a homer, two walks and two runs against the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With that, he's now exceeded last year's total of 14 homers -- in 54 fewer games. Yes, Morrison is in the midst of a breakout campaign, and with his BABIP at just .248, there's hope that he'll be able to improve upon his current .249 batting average. Even if he doesn't, those power stats play across the fantasy universe.

Morrison went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three walks in Sunday's 8-6 extra-inning victory over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison was a thorn in the side of Twins pitching all afternoon, and his 14th blast of the season, a 430-foot shot in the 15th inning, added an insurance run after Evan Longoria had snapped a 6-6 tie with his own solo shot a batter earlier. The 29-year-old now has nine homers in May and 14 overall on the season, leading to career highs in slugging (.557) and OPS (.907) at the moment.
