Morrison went 1-for-3 and hit a go-ahead two-RBI double in the eighth inning of Sunday's win over Milwaukee. He's hitting .296 with four home runs and a .954 OPS in his last 21 games.
EDGE Analysis
After a terrible start to the season that saw him hit just .113 with a .392 OPS in his first 18 games, Morrison has turned his season around. He's also playing regularly at first base rather than just DH with Joe Mauer on the DL.

Morrison went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran now has five homers on the season, all of which have come since April 20. Morrison's turned things around since his ice-cold start to the season, and he's now hitting .300 (15-for-50) through 14 games in May with three homers, eight runs and eight RBI.

Morrison is not in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Without the ability to use a designated hitter in a National League park, Morrison will head to the bench for a night off. Joe Mauer will be the first baseman Monday, but Morrison will almost certainly be one of the top bats available in the event of a major pinch-hit scenario.

Morrison is not in the lineup against the Yankees on Thursday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison will take a seat with southpaw Jordan Montgomery toeing the rubber for the Yankees as manager Paul Molitor stacks the lineup full of right-handed bats. Over 17 games this season, Morrison is hitting just .113 with a .391 OPS, though he's picked up hits in four of his past five appearances.

Morrison will take a seat as the Twins take on the Rays on Saturday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The off day is just Morrison's third in the Twins' opening 15 games. He's off to an awful start to the 2018 season, hitting just .083/.185/.167 through his first 54 plate appearances. His .088 BABIP is an obvious culprit, suggesting that he's suffered from a lot of bad luck, but he's also seen a drop in his hard-hit rate from 37.4 percent last year to just 28.6 percent this year, a career low. Robbie Grossman will be the designated hitter in Morrison's absence.

Morrison went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
It took a while, but the 30-year-old finally hit his first homer 51 plate appearances into the season, taking Chris Archer deep in the second inning. Twins manager Paul Molitor has stuck with Morrison through his brutal early-season slump, but it will take more than one long fly to regain the trust of fantasy GMs who have already benched Morrison or dropped him entirely.

Morrison is out of the linuep against the Mariners on Thursday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Paul Molitor loaded up the lineup with right-handed hitters to face southpaw James Paxton, so Morrison will retreat to the bench for the Twins' home opener. Robbie Grossman gets the start out of the DH spot and will bat cleanup.

Morrison will be deployed at first base for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison will bat out of the cleanup spot. Without the services of a designated hitter in Pittsburgh, Morrison gets an opportunity in the field as Joe Mauer retreats to the bench.

Morrison is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morrison gets the day off as he's primarily a designated hitter for the Twins and the series is being played in Pittsburgh. He could start at first base in place of Joe Mauer occasionally in National League parks, though. Morrison is off to a rough start through his first three games, as he's hitless in 11 at-bats.
