Morrison went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran opened the scoring with a 396-foot shot in the third, marking his third consecutive game with a hit and his fifth overall in the last six. Although he cooled off in the latter portion of April after a hot start to the season, Morrison's current .262/.367/.500 line is a marked and welcome departure from the .094/.147/.125 he sported at this time last season.

Morrison is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, with the Marlins sending out southpaw Wei-Yin Chen, Morrison will head to the bench as Rickie Weeks takes over at first base.

Morrison is not in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Francisco Liriano toeing the rubber for the Blue Jays, Morrison will head to the bench in favor of righty-swinging Rickie Weeks. Morrison has only started two games against southpaws this season, a trend that is expected to continue.

Morrison will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and bat second in the order Sunday against the Astros, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison isn't likely to stick in the No. 2 spot beyond Sunday, as that spot in the lineup was only open because Kevin Kiermaier is getting his first day off of the season. Expect Morrison to return to the sixth spot in the order during Monday's series opener against the Orioles.

Morrison went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison's fourth bomb of the season gave the Rays a 2-1 lead in a game they'd eventually lose. Although the 29-year-old has surpassed 17 homers just once in his previous seven years in the league, his fast start has him on track to challenge his career-high of 23 that he had in 2011 with the Marlins.

Morrison is out of the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison has yet to draw a start against a left-handed pitcher this season, and Thursday will be no different with southpaw Daniel Norris on the hill for Detroit. Rickie Weeks will draw the start at first base in his stead.

Morrison is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison will hit the bench following three straight starts with the Red Sox bringing left-hander Drew Pomeranz to the hill. With Morrison sitting out, platoon mate Rickie Weeks will draw the start at first base and bat fifth in the order.

Morrison went 2-for-5 with a double, grand slam and two runs in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison has made good on his vow to make this April markedly different than last season's, when he turned in historically bad numbers. The veteran broke open the game early, sending a third-inning Rick Porcello offering into right with the bases jammed to extend the Rays lead to 6-0. Factoring in Friday's production, Morrison is 5-for-11 with a double, two home runs and five RBI over his last three starts.

Morrison is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty Jordan Montgomery taking the hill for New York, Morrison will head to the bench in favor of Rickie Weeks at first base. This will likely be a recurring theme throughout the campaign, with Morrison riding the pine against nearly all opposing southpaws. Morrison started just 11 games against lefties with the Rays last season.

Morrison went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

In what was a disappointing day for the Rays offense, Morrison's round-tripper was the lone bright spot. He continues to put together an April that's in pleasantly sharp contrast to his disastrous opening month of 2016, as he's now slashing .333/.333/.556 with two homers and six RBI over his first 27 at-bats.
