Mike Morse (oblique) will return to San Francisco for an MRI, which will likely rule him out for the upcoming three-game series against the Dodgers, Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Morse managed to log two at-bats Friday night, but has experienced continued soreness through the weekend. He'll undergo further testing, and unless he receives sudden good news, it appears unlikely he'll be able to contribute much for the remainder of the regular season. Getting Morse healthy for a potential playoff run is likely the Giants' main priority at this time.
