Eligibility
Christopher Morel (foot) is batting fourth and serving as the designated hitter on Tuesday vs the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Morel was removed from Monday's game after fouling a ball off of his toe/foot area. Luckily he can DH Tuesday, although not being at third base may suggest the issue is still somewhat present. Patrick Wisdom takes over at third base.

Fantasy Impact
Morel fouled a ball off his left foot and is now dealing with a left toe injury, in addition to knee soreness that has been bothering him. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
Christopher Morel had a solid performance in the Cubs' narrow 5-4 win over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat challenging season for Morel, who is hitting just .228 through 40 games. His power continues to be an asset, as evidenced by his ninth homer of the season, but his overall production has been hampered by a low BABIP of .235. Fantasy managers should note that while Morel's power numbers provide some value, his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a drag on their team's overall performance. His ability to occasionally change the game with one swing makes him a potential boom-or-bust option in fantasy lineups.
Christopher Morel (knee) is playing third base and batting cleanup on Sunday vs the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Morel was removed from Saturday's game due to right knee soreness after an awkward slide at second base. Luckily, the injury doesn't seem to be a major issue and Morel is good to go without missing any time. He'll look to keep up his hot month of May where he has a .930 OPS.
Christopher Morel was removed from Saturday’s game with a right knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
