Morrison is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison shifts to the bench following four consecutive starts, during which he went 4-for-15 with a pair of home runs and three RBI. Since returning from the disabled list shortly after the All-Star break, Morrison has supplied an .829 OPS, which should be enough for him to retain a near-everyday role over Robbie Grossman, who has been Morrison's primary competition for at-bats this season.

Morrison (hip) started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI groundout Sunday in his return from the 10-day disabled list in the the Twins' 5-3 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison missed the minimum amount of time the left hip injury, which he suffered shortly before the All-Star break. Prior to getting shut down, Morrison was slashing just .193/.287/.367 on the campaign, which had begun to result in him losing out on starts to Robbie Grossman. The lefty-hitting Morrison seems likely to continue riding the bench versus southpaws, and he'll need to ramp up his power production against righties to secure a greater share of at-bats.

EDGE Analysis
Morrison last saw the field July 11, though the timing of his left hip issue worked out well with the All-Star break counting towards his DL time. He appears to be headed back to his regular role, as Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports that Morrison will start at first base and bat fifth in the order for the series finale.

EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has resided on the DL since July 12, and it'll wind up as only a brief absence. Willians Astudillo was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday to make room. Morrison will aim to improve his .193/.287/.367 slash line that's come with just 11 homers.

Morrison (hip) is hopeful to come off the disabled list for Sunday's matchup against the Royals, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison landed on the disabled list July 12 with a hip injury, but he's been making steady progress. Morrison managed to take batting practice on the field Friday, and manager Paul Molitor stated that Morrison's hip has "responded well," per Berardino. Barring setbacks, expect Morrison to return in time for the Twins series finale against Kansas City.
