Morris threw five hitless innings and allowed just one walk with five strikeouts in a no-decision in Monday's World Baseball Classic game against Venezuela.

EDGE Analysis

Morris was dominant against a fantastic lineup. Venezuela's 3-4-5-6 of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Rougned Odor and Carlos Gonzalez could contend with the heart of the order of any major league squad. Morris is a free agent who allowed a 6.30 ERA in 10 innings with the Reds last year as a 29-year-old rookie. Perhaps this performance will be enough to get him onto a minor league squad and give him a chance to work his way back for a second chance at the bigs.

Morris was activated from the DL and outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Morris hasn't pitched for the Reds since June 15 and has since been dealing with a shoulder ailment. While on his rehab assignment with Louisville, Morris allowed eight runs over just 5.2 innings.
