| 5/7/2013 6:08:00 PM |

Description: Mariners DH Kendrys Morales is 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts against Texas right-hander Yu Darvish. | Insight: Morales is getting most of the DH opportunities and is batting .259 with a homer and seven RBI, but just one RBI in his last five games. This isn't the matchup that will get him going, so put him on the bench. | | |

Description: Mariners DH Kendrys Morales must be taken out of all fantasy lineups when Seattle is facing right-hander Yu Darvish. He's hitless against Darvish with eight strikeouts in 13 at-bats. | Insight: Morales is getting most of the DH opportunities and is batting .286 with a home and six RBI. The Mariners' offense is averaging 4.2 runs per game this season, as compared to 3.8 a year ago, which should be a good omen for Morales. But not on Friday versus Darvish. | | |

Description: Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune is reporting that Mariners DH Kendrys Morales is taking part in all baseball activities without restrictions. | Insight: Morales (.273, 22 HR, 73 RBI) is capable of much more if he is 100 percent healthy. He's likely to be the primary DH, though he might eventually be eligible at 1B if he proved the ankle is as good as it was before the injury. In 2009 he hit 34 HR and knocked in 108 runs. | | |

Description: DH Kendrys Morales has been traded to the Mariners in exchange for left-hander Jason Vargas. | Insight: With Morales (.273, 22 HR, 73 RBI) gone, Mark Trumbo will slide into the DH role with Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout and Peter Bourjos occupying the three outifeld positions. The addition of Vargas (14-11, 3.85 ERA) gives Anaheim a much needed starter to fill out the rotation after losing Ervin Santana and Zack Greinke to trades and free agency. | | |

Description: Los Angeles DH Kendrys Morales is still looking for his first hit against Texas starter Yu Darvish. He's hitless in 11 career at bats versus the rookie righthander, with six of those 11 at bats ending in strikeouts. | Insight: Morales (.276, 22 HR, 72 RBI) is also dealing with a sore rib cage so Sunday seems like an ideal day for manager Mike Scioscia to give his veteran DH the day off. | | |
| 9/29/2012 10:28:00 AM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales is questionable for Saturday's game against Texas with a sore right rib cage which forced him out of Friday night's game. | Insight: With 22 home runs and 72 RBI, Morales, who missed the entire 2011 season and most of 2010 with a leg injury, could be a candidate for the league's comeback player of the year award. | | |
| 9/23/2012 10:45:00 AM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales is hitting a miserable .167 in 12 lifetime appearances against White Sox starter Gavin Floyd. | Insight: With his 21 home runs, Morales, who missed the entire 2011 season and most of 2010 with an injured leg, could be a candidate for the league's comeback player of the year award. We don't like his chances on Sunday though. | | |

Description: Los Angeles DH Kendrys Morales is getting the night off Wednesday against Texas. | Insight: Though not as dominant as he was during his monster 2009 campaign, Morales has still been plenty productive for the Angels this season in his first year back from a broken leg. So far, he is hitting .278 with 20 HR and 68 RBI in 122 games played. | | |
| 9/16/2012 12:57:00 PM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales has been scratched from Sunday's starting lineup. | Insight: No word yet on whether or not the scratch is injury-related. Albert Pujols (.282, 30 HR, 96 RBI) will fill in for Morales Sunday in Kansas City. | | |
| 9/14/2012 7:25:00 PM |
Description: Los Angeles DH Kendrys Morales is getting the night off Friday against Kansas City. | Insight: Morales (.277, 18 HR, 64 RBI) missed Thursday's game also. Mark Trumbo (.268, 30 HR, 84 RBI) will DH for the Angels. | | |

| 8/8/2012 8:13:00 PM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales had a multi-homer game Wednesday for the second time in his last nine games. | Insight: Morales has struggled to get the ball in the air this season, posting a 0.94 GB/FB ratio (compared to the 0.74 GB/FB he recorded in his 34-homer season in 2009). However, he has been getting more lift on the ball as of late, hitting two doubles and five homers in his last nine games. | | |
| 8/4/2012 11:56:00 AM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales is just 1-for-10 in his career against White Sox right-hander Gavin Floyd. | Insight: Morales (.276, 12 HRs, 47 RBIs) is having a solid comeback season after missing half of 2010 and all of 2011. Unfortunately, the Angels have a lot of quality bats and finding playing time for them all is difficult. | | |
| 7/30/2012 10:32:00 PM |
Description: Angels DH Kendrys Morales had a monster game Monday night against the Rangers. He finished the evening with two home runs and six RBIs. | Insight: Morales (.271, 11 HRs, 45 RBIs) also struck out three times during the game so clearly he was swinging for the fences tonight. Don't expect this kind of outburst to occur often for Morales, who is still working his way back from a leg injury that caused him to miss most of the 2010 and 2011 seasons. | | |
| Cold | 7/28/2012 6:56:00 PM |
