Morejon yielded three runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out three in the win over the Astros. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros pounced on Morejon early, tagging him for three runs in the first frame, including a two-run blast by Kyle Tucker. Fortunately, the bullpen shut Houston down the rest of the afternoon and the offense pushed ahead for a victory to prevent the 21-year-old lefty from picking up his first loss. It's unclear if Morejon will get another turn in the rotation, but if he does, he'll carry a 5.79 ERA into Colorado later this week.

Morejon will start Sunday's game against the Astros, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty will get another turn through the San Diego rotation after striking out four in three no-hit innings during his 2020 debut Tuesday against the Rangers. Morejon tossed only 39 pitches in that outing, so he could be capped at around 50-to-60 pitches Sunday as the Padres look to manage the young southpaw's workload carefully. San Diego doesn't have a clear primary pitcher available to work behind Morejon, so expect the team to use multiple relievers once the 21-year-old exits the contest.

Morejon allowed zero hits and one walk over three shutout innings during Tuesday's win over the Rangers. He had four strikeouts but did not qualify for the decison.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old's first outing of 2020 was a successful one, as he delivered 26 of his 39 pitches for strikes while holding down the Rangers in the opener role. Morejon would presumably receive more opportunities based on Tuesday's performance, but it's unclear how the Friars plan to utilize him moving forward with the rest of the rotation currently healthy.

Morejon was recalled from the Padres' alternate training site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Morejon was on San Diego's taxi squad and will serve as the opener for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers. The southpaw has likely been throwing with the alternate club over the start of the season, but he presumably won't be asked to take on a heavy workload in Arlington. Morejon hasn't appeared in the majors in 2020 but posted a 10.13 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over eight major-league innings last year.

Morejon will be recalled to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team has yet to make the move official, but Morejon is set to make his 2020 debut. He struggled in five games for the Padres a season ago, accruing a 10.13 ERA and 2.25 WHIP with nine strikeouts across eight innings.

Morejon was added to the Padres' taxi squad Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander will join San Diego for its game in Arizona on Sunday and then head to Texas for a two-game series at the start of the week. Morejon offers plenty of versatility, as he has experience as a starter, opener and traditional reliever.

Morejon did not make the cut for a spot on the Padres' 30-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

Morejon was said to be making a push for a roster spot after looking good in intrasquad action, but the southpaw will instead begin the season at the team's alternate training site. He could be among the primary candidates for a move to the big-league club if the need for a multi-inning reliever or spot starter arises during the season.

Morejon has impressed in intrasquad games and is pushing for a spot on the Padres' initial 30-man roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to the cancellation of the minor-league season, Morejon was expected to work as a starter at Triple-A. Instead, the southpaw is battling for a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. Though a big-league role remains far from certain, Morejon could theoretically help the club as a short-inning starter, a multi-inning reliever or an opener.

Morejon was being stretched out as a starter in spring training before play was suspended, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Morejon started every minor-league game in which he pitched last season, he was used primarily as an opener, logging only 36 innings over 16 outings. He then functioned as an opener and bullpen piece during his five outings in the big leagues, allowing nine earned runs over eight innings. Morejon's diverse arsenal -- he throws a mid- to upper-90s fastball along with two changeups and a curveball -- bodes well for his potential a starter, but he has yet to show that he can stay healthy enough to endure the workload that accompanies such a role.

Morejon was optioned to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Morejon was attempting to earn a spot on the Friars' Opening Day roster, but he'll end up beginning the season in the minors. The left-hander made his major-league debut last season with five appearances, but he spent most of 2019 at Double-A Amarillo with a 4.25 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB across 36 frames.
