Michael Morse is not in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday due to ongoing issues with his right quad.

Morse returned to action just under a week ago after missing a week of action, but it appears he's not totally over his quad issue yet. He was spotted taking early batting practice and doesn't appear to need a DL stint, but it's not clear if he'll be back in the lineup Friday.
Jun 12 - 6:16 PM

Michael Morse is back in the Mariners' lineup Thursday.

Morse hasn't played since May 28 due to a strained right quad, but he's ready to give it a go. He's in the DH spot Thursday, so it appears he's not quite ready to play the field just yet. Morse returns to a .254/.321/.468 batting line with 11 homers and 21 RBI.
Jun 6 - 6:53 PM

Michael Morse (quad) hopes to rejoin the lineup in the next few days.

Morse is able to hit with no issues, but running is still problematic for his strained right quad. He could be available to pinch-hit Tuesday, though, before returning to the lineup before the end of the week.
Jun 4 - 8:11 PM

Michael Morse (quad) hopes to return to the lineup by the middle of the week.

Morse missed his fifth straight start Monday due to a straight right quad, but he worked out in the pool and took batting practice prior to the game. As long as he doesn't have a setback, fantasy owners can count on having him in a few days.
Jun 3 - 11:22 PM

Michael Morse (quad) is with the Mariners for Friday's series opener against the Twins, but isn't ready to return to the starting lineup.

Morse left Tuesday's game with a strained quad and traveled back to Seattle to undergo tests and treatment. He's back with the team and is feeling some improvement, but his status is day to day for now.
May 31 - 5:23 PM

Mariners manager Eric Wedge is hopeful that Michael Morse's (quad) absence is "something minimal, in 3-5 day range."

Morse had tested on his strained left quad Wednesday, and evidently they didn't reveal anything too bad. The unfortunate thing is that the M's also have Justin Smoak (oblique) banged up, so Morse could be placed on the DL if his recovery drags on at all.
May 29 - 8:52 PM

Michael Morse (quad) is not in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday.

Morse is considered day-to-day after leaving Tuesday's game with a strained left quad. Endy Chavez is getting the start in right field Wednesday in Morse's place.
May 29 - 7:29 PM

Michael Morse is day-to-day after being diagnosed with a strained right quad.

Morse suffered the injury while rounding third base during the fourth inning of Tuesday's game. It's good that they're calling him day-to-day for now, but we should know more about how long he might be out after he's re-evaluated.
May 29 - 12:07 AM

Michael Morse left Tuesday's game against the Padres after four innings with an apparent injury.

Morse appeared to tweak something as he rounded third base while trying to score in the bottom of the fourth. The Mariners should provide an update on his status shortly.
May 28 - 11:26 PM

Michael Morse went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's win over the Padres.

The M's hit three over the boards against Clayton Richard, including Morse's blast in the first inning. "The Beast" has been streaky this season, and he's sporting a pretty uninspiring .250/.314/.465 batting line overall, but it's come along with 11 dingers and 21 RBI. He should continue to provide some pop for fantasy owners.
May 27 - 6:47 PM

Michael Morse went 0-for-4 at the plate in his return to action Saturday.

Morse was scratched from Friday's game with irritation in one of his eyes, but he'll be fine. The outfielder is batting .254/.316/.493 with 10 homers this season.
May 19 - 8:13 AM

Michael Morse was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Indians due to eye irritation.

It's safe to call him day-to-day. Endy Chavez will take his place in right field.
May 17 - 6:03 PM

Michael Morse went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk in the Mariners' 3-2 victory over the Yankees on Thursday.

Morse has found his stroke again, going 9-for-15 with three extra-base hits and three walks in his last four games. His average was down to .220, but he's suddenly back up to .261 now.
May 16 - 10:58 PM

Michael Morse went 0-for-4 on Saturday and is 3-for-25 for the month of May.

Morse has nine homers, but he's been just the one-category player so far. His average is down to .220 and he's totaled 12 runs scored, 15 RBI and zero steals in 123 at-bats. Most likely, he'll start driving in more runs to go along with the homers, but he's not going to be all that valuable in fantasy leagues this year.
