Morrison is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers.
Analysis:
Morrison has struggled this season as he's slashing just .159/.209/.206 with only one extra-base hit. The Mariners aren't going to wait forever for him to hit, but they also don't have great options to replace him with. Jesus Montero is crushing Triple-A pitching, but the team likely is wary about promoting the oft-troubled former prospect. The team signed Carlos Quentin last week, but he's still a bit of an unknown after just four games at Triple-A.
