White Sox's Justin Morneau: Targeting July 15 for debut

Morneau (elbow) appears to be targeting July 15 for his White Sox debut, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.

Analysis:

The White Sox have yet to outline an official plan for Morneau to head out on a rehab assignment, but assuming he endures no setbacks in his on-field workouts, early July seems like a safe estimate. Morneau signed with the team on June 9 and has spent the last two-plus weeks taking part in a de facto spring training after offseason elbow surgery prevented him from swinging a bat for six months. He could displace Avisail Garcia as the White Sox's primary DH once he officially joins the team.
