Rockies first baseman Justin Morneau played in his first live game since the middle of May, as he began a minor-league rehab assignment on Friday. The veteran Morneau went 1 for 2 for Double-A New Britain.

Morneau has been on the disabled list with a concussion for nearly three months. He is expected to need at least two more rehab games before getting the green light to return to the Rockies.
