Morrison was held out of Sunday's lineup against the Angels due in part to a sore back, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.

Analysis:

Morrison's absence probably had more to do with a left-hander being on the mound for the opposition in Hector Santiago, but it was also done with the intention of giving the first baseman a full two days to rest in advance of Tuesday's series opener against the Padres. He later entered the game Sunday to pinch hit and substitute in at first base, so it doesn't look like he'll be at risk of missing Tuesday's game.
