Morrison was 2-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Sunday's 7-5 victory over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison and Evan Longoria essentially decimated the Twins on their own over the four-game series, as they combined to hit nine homers. The 28-year-old now has four round-trippers in the last three games, three straight multi-hit efforts, and a nine-game hitting streak. After resurrecting his season with a .375/.455/.486 line in May, Morrison has been even better in the early going in June, going 8-for-21 with four homers and seven RBI.

Morrison went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double during Wednesday's win against the Twins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison has been one of the hottest hitters for Tampa Bay of late with hits in nine of the past 10 games. The first baseman has collected five extra-base hits, six RBI and a robust .368 (14-for-38) over that span.

Morrison went 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old validated manager Kevin Cash's faith during May, a month in which Morrison has raised his average a whopping 131 points to its current figure of .231. He was actually hitting .094 after an 0-for-4 day against the Blue Jays on May 1, before beginning to finally snap out of the worst stretch at the plate of his career. The veteran hit safely in 16 of the subsequent 22 games, and has slashed .343/.446/.486 during the month, along with posting his first three homers of the season. Although the Rays' offense continues in an overall malaise, Morrison's improving bat has helped to make up some of the production that was lost when Logan Forsythe (shoulder) headed to the DL on May 14.

Morrison provided all the offense for the Rays in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Miami, going 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.
EDGE Analysis
Following an atrocious start to the year that had him hitting .119/.221/.143 just 10 days ago, Morrison's apparently figured things out in a hurry -- all of a sudden, he's gone a truly spectacular 15-for-27 (.556) with three homers, 10 RBI and a couple steals over a nine-game span. He's always been known for his streakiness, so ride Morrison while he's hot both in DFS and in AL-only leagues, but be prepared for the inevitable cooling phase to come.

Morrison went 3-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Six of the Rays' nine hits came from left-handed bats, with Morrison leading the charge with a trio of singles. However, with only four extra-base hits in 107 at-bats on the campaign, Morrison is still a drain the power department, which is tough for fantasy owners to take at the first base spot.

Morrison is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Mark Tompkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison has struggled all season long, posting a .176 batting average. However, he has picked it up as of late, hitting .444 with two home runs and six RBI over the past six games, which is a good sign moving forward.

Morrison went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
It was another baby step in the right direction for Morrison, who had seen a modest four-game hitting streak snapped Saturday. The homer was only his second overall on the season, but both gopher balls have notably come in the last four games. The 28-year-old's average continues its slow but steady ascent to the Mendoza Line, as it now sits at .176 after Sunday's effort.

Morrison went 1-for-2 with an RBI, two walks and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Both the Rays and fantasy owners have their fingers crossed that this is a continuation of a legitimate resurgence at the plate for Morrison, who now owns a modest four-game hitting streak. While that normally wouldn't be much to celebrate, it's a notable feat for the 28-year-old, who's still only hitting .177 on the season. However, that figure represents a 77-point jump from the .100 figure he ended April with, and his May line is now up to .306/.444/.389.

Morrison went 3-for-4 with his first homer of the year and two runs Wednesday in Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
LoMo came into this series hitting .119 with a .364 OPS, but he proceeded to go 6-for-10 in three games (two starts) against the Jays. It's far too early to call this a resurgence -- the guy did hit .225 last year, after all -- but it at least offers some hope to his AL-only owners that Morrison may not be a black hole in fantasy lineups moving forward.

Morrison went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 victory over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has considerably struggled at the plate all season, with Tuesday's performance marking his first multi-hit effort of 2016. Factoring in a pinch-hit single in Monday's game, Morrison is now 3-for-6 over the last pair of contests, his best two-game stretch in a dismal campaign. He appears to be slowly emerging from his offensive malaise, hitting safely in six of 11 May games and having raised his season average 44 points since the month began.
