Morrison was removed from Sunday's game against the Yankees with a left hand injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison suffered the ailment while swinging during a fourth-inning at-bat. Mikie Mahtook entered the game to finish out the at-bat for Morrison, who had rejoined the Rays just under a month ago following a DL stint due to a forearm injury. The team will likely reevaluate Morrison after Sunday's contest and provide an update on his outlook.

Morrison went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, double, solo homer and two runs in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The power-hitting first baseman hit the first of back-to-back homers in the fourth off Michael Pineda, his 14th round-tripper of the season overall. Morrison added an RBI single in the ninth off closer Dellin Betances, closing the deficit to 7-5 at the time. The 29-year-old is in the midst of a red-hot month, with three multi-hit efforts and a .474/.583/1.158 line over his first 19 September at-bats.

Morrison is out of the lineup Thursday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rather than Morrison, Nick Franklin will get the nod to start at first Thursday evening. Although he's underperformed at the plate for much of the season, Morrison has increased his production in recent contests. Over the last seven games, he's hit .412/.524/1.118 with three home runs.

Morrison went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI on Labor Day against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison now has two home runs and five RBI in his last nine at-bats. The first baseman just never got his season on track after hitting a paltry .100 in April. Morrison's .234 average is actually an improvement on his figure from a season ago, but his home runs, RBI, and stolen bases are all down from 2015.

Morrison is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Morrison takes a seat Sunday with southpaw J.A. Happ twirling for the Jays, paving the way for Curt Casali to see a start at DH. Morrison has been running hot since returning from the DL in mid-August, producing a .268/.375/.537 batting line and contributing two homers and five doubles over just 48 plate appearances.

Morrison homered in his second consecutive game, going 1-for-2 with two runs, two RBIs and a walk Friday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison appears to be picking up steam after an ice cold August in which he homered just once and drove in only five runs in 10 games. He isn't a strong DH/1B option until he shows he's truly busted his slump.

Morrison went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison smacked a 427-foot solo blast in the fourth, extending the Rays lead to 4-1 at the time. The 29-year-old has hit safely in three of the last four games, but the homer was notably his first since July 5.

Morrison is out of Tuesday's lineup against Boston, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brad Miller will start at first and hit cleanup for the Rays while Morrison gets the night off. Over the last 14 games, Morrison has gone 7-for-32, bringing his batting average down to a bleak .227 for the year.

Morrison (forearm) made a successful return from the DL in Monday's victory over the Padres while serving as the DH, going 1-for-3 with an RBI double and driving in another run after being hit by a pitch. He also scored once.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran made a successful debut at his new position of DH, opening the scoring by getting plunked and driving in Kevin Kiermaier in the first, and then plating Matt Duffy in the eighth with a two-bagger. Morrison's new position is the end result of the musical chairs prompted by Duffy's ascension to the big league club following the conclusion of his rehab for an Achilles injury suffered while he was still with the Giants. Brad Miller has primarily taken Morrison's first base job, leaving the latter to focus solely on hitting for the time being.

Morrison (forearm) was activated from the disabled list Monday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison hit the DL in late July with tendinitis in hi forearm, but he'll return to the Rays after finishing up a rehab assignment over the weekend. The first baseman had been struggling -- 2-of-his-last-23 at the plate -- prior to hitting the DL, and he'll look to improve upon the .228/.324/.411 slash line he holds through 294 at-bats on the season. In order to free up a roster spot for Morrison, the Rays optioned Dylan Floro to Triple-A Durham.
