Morejon hasn't pitched for Double-A Amarillo since May 22 while managing recurring soreness in his left shoulder, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morejon was previously shut down for nearly a month earlier in the season with shoulder discomfort, so it's somewhat disconcerting that he's dealing with the same injury three outings after returning from the 7-day injured list. On a positive note, Amarillo has thus far resisted placing him on the IL, suggesting his latest setback isn't quite as significant. The 20-year-old has been able to play catch in recent days and could be cleared to rejoin the rotation later this week.

Morejon will open the 2019 season at Double-A Amarillo, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morejon's 2018 season came to an early end while he dealt with a minor triceps injury, but he'll enter the upcoming campaign at full health while getting his first taste of Texas League action. The young lefty spent the bulk of the past season in the California League, racking up 70 strikeouts over 62.2 innings for High-A Lake Elsinore while pitching to a 3.30 ERA and 1.25 WHIP.

Morejon was placed on the minor-league disabled list with a small triceps issue, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately, Morejon isn't dealing with any issue to his ulnar collateral ligament. The plan is to shut the prospect down for 10 days before allowing him to build back up with a restricted pitch count. It's Morejon's second trip to the disabled list stint in the past two months, his other due to a hip flexor issue, so the Padres figure to proceed cautiously with the young southpaw.

Morejon (hip) returned to action with a four-inning scoreless outing for High-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morejon had missed over a month with soreness in his hip flexor muscle, but Sunday's successful return to the mound is an encouraging sign for the young pitching prospect. The 19-year-old now owns a 3.36 ERA with 69 strikeouts over 61.2 innings with High-A Lake Elsinore this season. If he can maintain this level of success through the end of the 2018 season, a bump to Double-A next year wouldn't be surprising despite his ripe age.
