Morneau is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.
Analysis:
Morneau will sit for the final two games of the season, as the veteran has little left to play for - other than protecting his lead in the batting race - with the Rockies long out of the playoff hunt. Ben Paulsen will get his 10th start of the season at first base in Morneau's stead.
