Morneau (dizziness) is out of the lineup Friday, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports. He remains out with a bout of dizziness, but with Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers, Rockies hitters on the road are not the best play in daily formats Friday. Wilin Rosario will get the start at first base and Morneau should be considered day-to-day.

Morneau is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, after exiting Wednesday's game against the Angels due to dizziness, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports. It's possible Morneau's absence is unrelated to Wednesday's incident, as the Rockies are facing Dodgers lefty Brett Anderson. The dizziness is still concerning for Morneau and his owners, given the veteran first baseman's extensive concussion history.

Morneau left Wednesday's game against the Angels in the eighth inning due to an apparent bout of dizziness, the Associated Press reports. Tom Runnells, who stepped in to manage the Rockies on Wednesday with Walt Weiss requiring an emergency appendectomy, said that Morneau felt dizzy after making a diving stop defensively. Runnells indicated that Morneau isn't expected to miss time because of it, but the first baseman's lengthy history of concussions during his days with the Twins likely prompted the team to proceed cautiously. The Rockies will face off against a lefty Thursday in the Dodgers' Brett Anderson, so it's likely Morneau will be held out of the lineup, but he should be available off the bench if needed.

Morneau went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the Angels. Morneau may begin to lose out on some at-bats against southpaw pitching with lefty masher Wilin Rosario back from the minors, but the reigning NL batting champ has remains locked into a regular role at first base. While his counting stats haven't been steady of late with the Rockies riding a 10-game losing streak, Morneau is still upholding an excellent .292 average for the season.

Morneau is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports. Morneau doesn't sit against all left-handers, but with one as tough as Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers, the move makes sense from a matchup standpoint. Wilin Rosario will take over for him at first base.

Morneau went 3-for-5 with his third home run of the season, a run scored, and two RBI as the Rockies lost the first game of a double header to Arizona on Wednesday. Morneau got back on track after three straight games without a hit, pushing his average up to .291. He also doubled in the contest, but couldn't lift the Rockies to a win.

Morneau is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. Morneau occasionally sits out for the Rockies when the team faces a lefty, but his absence from Sunday's lineup just looks to be rest related. Daniel Descalso will substitute in for Morneau at first base against Padres righty James Shields.

Morneau went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 12-5 loss to the Diamondbacks. Morneau has recorded two or three hits in four consecutive games, raising his average to a robust .319 for the season. He's settled into the cleanup role for the Rockies in light of Carlos Gonzalez's early-season struggles, so it may not be long before his relatively low RBI (seven) and run (eight) totals begin to pick up.

Morneau's three-run homer aided the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night. The first baseman later singled and walked. Morneau came out of the gates a bit slow this season, but with three multi-hit games in a row on his ledger, he's upped his line to .297/.338/.438. While the 33-year-old only boasts moderate power relative to his peers at first base, he's still one of the game's most skilled contact hitters, as last season's NL batting title would illustrate.
