Morrison went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison has failed to collect a hit over Minnesota's first three games, as he's gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in that time. However, he's managed to reach base twice by drawing walks, a skill he showed last season by posting a sound 13.5 percent walk rate. He'll look to pick up his first hit of the season during the Twins' upcoming two-game series against the Pirates.

Morrison (upper leg) will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and bat cleanup in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

It marks Morrison's first game action since March 7, when he departed early in a contest against the Red Sox with a right glute strain following a hard fall during a play at the plate. After receiving treatment for the injury over the past week, Morrison isn't expected to face many limitations over the rest of the Twins' Grapefruit League schedule, which should allow him to catch up with the rest of his teammates after a delayed start to spring training.

Morrison (upper leg) said that he hopes to return to the Twins' Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After inking a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Twins two weeks earlier, Morrison appeared in three spring games before straining a glute muscle Wednesday. The 30-year-old has received treatment over the last few days and appears to be responding well, so it shouldn't be long before he resumes playing on a regular basis. Morrison is expected to serve as the Twins' primary designated hitter this season and should occupy a spot near the middle of the order against right-handed pitching.

Morrison will likely remain sidelined from Grapefruit League action through Saturday as he continues to get treatment on his right glute strain, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison exited Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to the injury and it appears as though he will need a little more time to recover. There shouldn't be too much concern over the 30-year-old's status barring any additional setback. Expect him back on the field by early next week.

Morrison's removal from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox was due to right glute tightness, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury did not appear to be serious. Morrison is likely to be back in game action within a day or two barring any unexpected setbacks.

Morrison was removed from Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox after landing hard on his right side during a play at the plate in the first inning, Mike Berardino of The Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

There hasn't been any word on Morrison's status but it seems like he was taken out of the game as a precaution. Kennys Vargas took his place to start the bottom of the third inning.

Morrison agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Twins on Sunday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal is still pending a physical, but assuming everything checks out, Morrison could realistically be in line for up to a two-year, $16.5 million contract if he reaches certain incentives. It's likely that the 30-year-old -- who blasted a career-high 38 homers last season with the Rays -- will occupy the Twins' DH role to begin the season, while also providing valuable depth at first base. He's likely due for some regression from his career year in 2017 but should still provide solid pop in the middle of the Twins' order.

Minnesota has shown interest in signing Morrison, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota could put Morrison in the DH spot for regular at-bats (and give him spot starts at first base), but his acquisition would then could the outlook for Kennys Vargas, Robbie Grossman and potentially Miguel Sano (if he's limited to DH due to his recovery from a leg injury).

Morrison and the Red Sox have had discussions recently, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox prefer to sign J.D. Martinez, with Morrison representing a fallback option. The 30-year-old Morrison had a breakthrough in 2017, blasting a career-high 38 home runs and .869 OPS.

Morrison went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Morrison's career-high 38th homer came in the seventh and was his fifth of September. The veteran slugger has also hit safely in five of his last six contests, and although he's sports just a .227 average this month, he also has a .363 OBP and .485 slugging percentage.
