Rays' Logan Morrison: Could be held out early in spring training

Morrison (wrist) could be held out of early spring training games according to manager Kevin Cash, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Morrison returned to the Rays on a one-year, $2.5 million deal on Feb. 7, and with wrist surgery having curtailed the final month of his 2016 campaign, Morrison is a candidate to be brought along slowly in the exhibition slate. The veteran first baseman is expected to platoon with veteran Richie Weeks in 2017 and will look to build on his .238/.319/.414 line from last season.
