Rays' Christopher Morel: Taking seat Sunday
Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Blue Jays.
Dylan Carlson will patrol left field and bat leadoff for the Rays. The Blue Jays are using a right-handed opener in Ryan Burr and are then expected to turn to lefty Ryan Yarbrough in bulk relief, so Morel is a candidate to enter mid-game.

Morel (Achilles) will start in left field and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.

The severity of his injury remains unknown, though it's possible the Rays will give him a day or two off even if it isn't too serious.

For the season, he has a .196/.298/.363 slash line with 21 homers, 55 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 123 games.
