Morrow (biceps) has yet to pick up a baseball and will not be reinstated from the 10-day DL on Saturday, which is the first day he will be eligible to return, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morrow admitted Wednesday that he's still feeling soreness in his biceps, though the pain is "a fraction of what it once was." The reliever also claimed that he's moving in the right direction even without resuming any sort of baseball activities, but neither he or the club offered up a concrete timetable for his eventual return.

Morrow (biceps) doesn't anticipate a long-term shutdown after an MRI Thursday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs will be careful with their closer, who has an extensive injury history and who has now been placed on the disabled list for the second time this season. Morrow said that the MRI revealed that there was "stuff in there" but did not appear overly concerned. A more precise timeline is not yet clear.

Morrow was placed on the disabled list with right biceps inflammation, Bruce Miles of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to Sunday, so Morrow will be eligible to return starting July 25 against Arizona. It's unclear if he'll be required to miss more than the minimum on the shelf, but manager Joe Maddon stated that the Cubs "don't anticipate [Morrow] being gone for a long time," Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports. The 33-year-old closer has racked up 22 saves and sits with a 1.47 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 30.2 innings this season.

Morrow allowed one hit and struck out one to record his 22nd save on Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Morrow allowed a leadoff single to Manuel Margot but proceeded to get the next three batters he faced to close out the win for the Cubs. Since returning from a short stint on the disabled list, Morrow has allowed one earned run and recorded six strikeouts in eight innings. He has a firm grip on the closer role, and should continue to rack up saves assuming he can remain healthy.

Morrow got the save against the Padres on Friday, giving up one hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 5-4 victory for the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

That's now 21 saves in 23 tries for the right-hander, who was able to protect a one-run lead despite allowing a hit in this appearance. Morrow is firmly entrenched as the ninth-inning man for the Cubs thanks to his 1.52 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through his 29.2 innings.

Morrow allowed a run on two hits in an inning of work to blow the save Sunday against the Reds. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, Morrow allowed a solo home run to Adam Duvall to tie the score. He got out of the frame and his team eventually won in the 10th, making his second blown save of the season of little consequence. Morrow still has a strong 1.63 ERA on the year despite this hiccup.

Morrow struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to record the save in Saturday's comeback win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't look like Morrow would get a save opportunity in this one, but the Cubs rattled off four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to pull ahead and set up their closer. Morrow then slammed the door on 10 pitches to get his 20th save in 21 chances. The veteran righty also has a sparkling 1.35 ERA, as he's been an elite bullpen option this season.

Morrow nailed down his 19th save of the season in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Tigers, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Morrow was bypassed in a save opportunity Tuesday, but the Cubs were just getting him extra rest after a four-out save Sunday. The 33-year-old closer logged 43.2 innings last season, which were his most since 2013 following several injury-plagued seasons, so the club will likely look for additional opportunities to get him rest down the stretch. However, when Morrow has been in there, he's been lights out, as his ERA is down to 1.40 and he's 19-for-20 in save opportunities.

Morrow was not used in a save opportunity in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers, but the team was simply giving him an extra day off after he recorded a four-out save Sunday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to recording four outs Sunday, Morrow also recently returned from a stint on the disabled list due to a back issue, so the team is understandably exercising caution with its star closer. With no new injury being reported, expect Morrow to be available for Wednesday's game if needed.

Morrow retired the final four batters in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Twins to record his 18th save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't look like Morrow would be needed in this one, as the Cubs entered the eighth inning up 11-5. However, the Twins rallied for five runs against Dillon Maples, and Chicago turned to Morrow to escape the inning with the lead. The 33-year-old closer then worked around a two-out single in the ninth to lock down the save. Morrow now has a 1.46 ERA this season and has been a reliable relief option in all fantasy formats.
