Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau is not in the starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday, July 27.

Fantasy Tip: Without being able to utilize a designated hitter Wednesday, Morneau lands on the bench. He's 7-for-30 with a .367 slugging percentage through 10 games this season and likely should be left to cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues at this point.

Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau is out of the lineup Saturday, July 23, with OF Avisail Garcia hitting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia is hitting just .156 this month and just .196 against left-handers. He's not a good option against lefty Matt Boyd.

Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau hit his first home run in over 14 months, going 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers Friday, July 22.

Fantasy Tip: The sample size is still too small to gauge his true value, but Morneau is worth stashing in AL-only formats for now.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia remains out of the starting lineup Thursday, July 21, in favor of 1B Justin Morneau at designated hitter. Morneau is batting fifth and facing Detroit Tigers SP Mike Pelfrey.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia, who continues to frustrate fantasy owners with a .234/.309/.332 slash line and only five home runs, could continue to lose playing time at DH to Morneau, making him only an AL-only candidate at this point. Morneau has just three hits in 13 at-bats for the Pale Hose and is a shell of his former self. He's worth a flier, though, in AL leagues if he sees regular at-bats.

Chicago White Sox SS Tim Anderson and OF Avisail Garcia are not in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 20. SS Tyler Saladino is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth, while 1B Justin Morneau is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup against Seattle Mariners SP Felix Hernandez. Also, OF Melky Cabrera moves into the two-hole.

Fantasy Tip: There's not much to like about Saladino hitting ninth for DFS purposes against King Felix in his return. However, both Melky and Morneau can be under-the-radar value plays in prime lineup spots. Hernandez has put up good numbers but isn't his usual dominant self this year and is making his first start back today after a long layoff.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia is out of the lineup Saturday, July 16, with 1B Justin Morneau in at DH and hitting sixth.

Fantasy Tip: Morneau takes on Matt Shoemaker, and it's probably not a good decision to use the DFS flyer on the former MVP in his first start this season.

Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau (elbow) was recalled from his injury rehabilitation and activated from the disabled list Friday, July 15. OF Jason Coats was optioned to Class AAA Charlotte.

Fantasy Tip: Morneau had some solid showings with the Colorado Rockies the last couple of years before injuries set in again. He's now 35, and his ceiling figures to be pretty limited. He's worth an AL-only speculative grab, but he's not worth grabbing in mixed leagues for now.

Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau (elbow) had a pair of walks and an RBI groundout in a minor-league game Wednesday, July 13, with Class AAA Charlotte. He said after that the elbow feels great.

Fantasy Tip: Morneau is returning from surgery on his left elbow and he should be avoided in all fantasy formats until he can officially return and prove his health in a handful of games without any setbacks.
