It may be a day to rest up but he should be considered day-to-day for now. Justin Smoak will make the start at first base on Tuesday for the Mariners.","date":"Tue Jun 18"},"fullName":"Michael Morse","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Morse is one of those rare players who strikes out a lot, walks a little, yet somehow manages to turn in annual .300 batting averages. He has done it by maintaining BABIPs in the .340 range in back-to-back seasons, and his critics do -- and should -- wonder whether his luck will run out, forcing his batting average closer to the .270 range. That's a troubling thought this year; Morse is coming off an injury-plagued 2012 and his new home is Safeco Field, which despite smaller dimensions this season remains likely to be pitcher-friendly. While he's capable of another .300-30 campaign, health-willing, the prospects of merely .270-25 loom, and be aware how commonplace such performers are: Seven reached both of the former last year, while 28 achieved the latter. Morse is also somewhat less attractive in points-based leagues than rotisserie because of his K-to-walk ratio, so while he warrants midround consideration, be careful not to overpay.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Mar 6"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.6,"positionRank":63}
