Morrison went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

He came into the game with a putrid .150/.190/.250 slash line through 12 games in June, but Joe Mauer's return to the lineup seemed to put a spark in Morrison's bat, at least for one day. His .650 OPS on the year remains well below last year's .869 mark, or even his .755 career average, and the 30-year-old will need to find some sustained success if he wants to keep a regular spot in the Twins lineup once players like Miguel Sano and Jorge Polanco (suspension) are back in the fold.

Morrison went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison took Nick Tropeano deep in the first inning for his seventh home run of the season. He continues to flash sporadic power -- this was his second home run in his past nine games -- but has failed to come close to replicating his 2017 season through 178 at-bats this season. However, his peripherals fall largely in line his breakout campaign, most notable of which is his flyball rate, so this performance may be what he needs to get going at the plate.

Morrison (back) will start at first base and bat out of the cleanup spot against the White Sox on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports

EDGE Analysis

Morrison was able to join Wednesday's contest as a pinch hitting after sitting out the prior two games due to some back stiffness. There shouldn't be too much concern over his status moving forward, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit during one of the Twins' outings this weekend.

Morrison (back) is available off the bench Wednesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The back stiffness that has kept Morrison on the bench for the past three games is close to gone, and his availability off the bench Wednesday suggests he'll likely be able to avoid a trip to the disabled list. He should be considered day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is starting at DH in his stead.

Morrison (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the White Sox, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison is slated to miss his third consecutive game dealing with back stiffness. The Twins are optimistic that he won't be on the shelf for long, but a stint on the disabled list isn't out of the question.

Morrison is currently dealing with a stiff back, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report of a stiff back helps explain why Morrison was held out of both games in Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox. Manager Paul Moliter is hoping that the injury won't sideline him for long, so consider Morrison a day-to-day case.

Morrison is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison also sat out of the Game 1 win over the White Sox after starting the previous five games, going 4-for-22 with one home run and three walks. The 31-year-old sitting both games of the doubleheader is an interesting development, as there is no indication of any sort of injury situation at this point.

Morrison is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison has started five straight games, so he'll head to the bench for Game 1 of Tuesday's twin bill. Eddie Rosario will serve as DH in his stead, allowing Robbie Grossman to pick up a start in the outfield. Look for Morrison, who is hitting just .197/.312/.347 with six homers this season, to rejoin the starting nine for Game 2.

Morrison is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison will head to the bench against lefty Danny Duffy while Miguel Sano picks up a start at first base and Robbie Grossman serves as the team's designated hitter. He's had a better month at the dish, hitting .247/.370/.429 across 23 games in May, but Morrison still owns an unsightly .196/.313/.340 line on the season.

Morrison is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison will take a seat with Miguel Sano returning from injury and Robbie Grossman filling in at the designated hitter slot. The 30-year-old first baseman is hitting .256 with one home run and six RBI over the last 14 games.
