EDGE Analysis

Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Morel batted ninth but was still able to provide a useful fantasy line. The rookie is now up to 10 home runs through 68 games. He also has nine stolen bases, so he could get to double figures in both categories soon. Morel's combination of power and speed makes him an interesting fantasy asset, and he could be primed for even better numbers in 2023 assuming he gets regular playing time starting on Opening Day.

Morel (hamstring) is starting Monday against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Morel didn't play Sunday against the Marlins due to a hamstring injury but is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth a day later. He's gone 1-for-9 with a run and three strikeouts over his last three games.

Morel (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old exited Saturday's contest with right hamstring tightness and will be out of the starting nine for at least one game. Nelson Velazquez will start in center field while Nick Madrigal is at the keystone for Chicago, and it's unclear if Morel will be available off the bench Sunday.

Morel left Saturday's game against the Marlins with right hamstring tightness, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie's production has taken a nosedive lately -- he entered Saturday's game in an 0-for-23 slide. While Morel burst onto the scene in spectacular fashion and sits with nine homers and nine stolen bases through 67 games this season, this injury on top of the recent struggles may send him to the waiver wire in some fantasy leagues.

Morel is on the bench for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Though Morel will likely play in the nightcap, he'll be on the bench for the third time in four games while the Cubs go with David Bote at second base and Rafael Ortega in center field for the afternoon contest. After he was dialed in at the plate to begin his MLB career, Morel has cooled down since the beginning of July and has gone 0-for-16 over his last five starts.

Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Morel has gone from a relatively unheralded prospect to one of the better players on the Cubs this season, though he's recently hit a bit of a wall, going hitless in his last six games. He'll hit the bench for the second time in three games Tuesday, and he could see his playing time opportunities at the keystone take a hit moving forward with Nick Madrigal (groin) returning from the injured list.

Morel isn't starting Saturday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Morel is getting a breather after he went 0-for-12 with two walks and three strikeouts over the last four games. David Bote will take his place at the keystone and bat ninth.
