For the first time since May 13th, Justin Morneau played in a baseball game Friday. The batting champ went 1-1 with a single in his first appearance with the Rock Cats since 2003 in the Twins organization.
A three game stint in New Britain is the first step in Morneau’s rehab assignment, who will be evaluated Thursday in regard to a possible return.
Thomas Harding of MLB.com has quotes from manager Walt Weiss, who expressed that there is still a spot for Morneau with the Rockies moving forward. Morneau’s two-year contract is up after this season, with a $9 million mutual option for 2016.
