Reds' Logan Morrison: Joins Reds on minors deal
Logan Morrison signed a minor-league contract with the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.Morrison has played 997 games at the big-league level and is a slightly above-average hitter for his career, as his .238/.323/.425 line is good for a 105 wRC+. It's been several years since he was particularly useful, however, as he's hit just .183/.271/.365 in 133 games since the start of the 2018 season. He'll make at least one more attempt to get back to the majors and will look to impress at Triple-A Louisville, but expectations should be modest even if he does eventually earn a call-up.

Logan Morrison: Returns to free agency

Morrison will hope to secure another major-league opportunity after failing to stick with the Brewers.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Designated for assignment
Logan Morrison was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.Morrison started six of the Brewers' first 13 games but failed to distinguish himself, hitting .120/.214/.280 over 28 plate appearances. He's unlikely to be a particularly appealing candidate on the waiver wire, as he's a 32-year-old first baseman who owns a .183/.271/.365 slash line over the last three seasons. Luis Urias (illness) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Cracks first homer
Logan Morrison went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Reds.This was a game to forget for Milwaukee, though Morrison's homer off Trevor Bauer -- his first of the year -- qualifies as a bright spot. He was off to a miserable start with two hits and zero walks in his first six games. Ryan Braun (finger) is due back after the minimum, but Morrison will remain in the mix for starts at first base and DH against right-handed pitching.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Contract selected
Logan Morrison's contract was officially selected by the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.The move confirms reports from over the weekend that Morrison had made the team's Opening Day roster. He's unlikely to be much more than a depth option at first base and designated hitter this season, as he's produced an above-average batting line in just one of his last five seasons.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Makes Opening Day roster
Logan Morrison has made the Milwaukee Brewers' Opening Day roster, Robert Murray of TheScore.com reports.He has impressed from Day 1 with Milwaukee, so this is not a surprise. With Ryan Braun (general soreness) questionable for Opening Day, Morrison could see starts at designated hitter early in the season while getting occassional starts at first base over Justin Smoak. The 32-year-old veteran hit .300/.364/.600 with three home runs and 10 strikeouts in 33 plate appearances this spring and has been impressing thus far in summer camp. He is not officially on the 40-man roster yet, but the Brewers have multiple players on the COVID-19 injured list, which will free up a couple spots for players like Morrison.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Big leagues or bust
Logan Morrison will elect free agency if he does not earn a spot on the Milwaukee Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Morrison's contract permits him to seek opportunities elsewhere if he does not break camp with a spot on the Brewers' big-league roster, and he made it clear he will do just that. Morrison struggled mightily the past couple seasons, but he was making a good case for a spot when play was halted, going 9-for-30 (.300) with three home runs and seven RBI over 12 games this spring.

Brewers' Logan Morrison: Headed to Brewers
Logan Morrison signed a minor-league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.Morrison appeared in just 29 games for the Phillies last season, but the Brewers are hoping he'll be able to rediscover his power he had in 2017, when he hit 38 home runs for the Rays. The report doesn't explicitly say so, but Morrison should get the chance to compete in spring training as a non-roster invitee.
