Has rare poor outing Tuesday Morejon (1-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk while retiring one batter in relief.
Impact When Morejon entered in the seventh inning, San Diego was clinging to a one-run lead. By the end of the frame, New York racked up 10 runs, four of which were charged to the left-hander. Three of those crossed the plate after Morejon had departed, and the walk he issued was intentional, but it was nonetheless an uncharacteristically poor performance by the reliever given his previous results this season. Entering Tuesday, Morejon owned a 1.56 ERA and had held the opponent scoreless in 15 of his 17 appearances.

Earns save against Atlanta Morejon earned the save in Saturday's 1-0 win over Atlanta, issuing one walk while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact The 26-year-old southpaw came in to finish out Saturday's game as usual closer Robert Suarez had been deployed in each of the first two games of the series. Morejon was able to pitch around a leadoff walk and finished things off by punching out Drake Baldwin. Morejon logged two saves last season, but he could see more opportunities in 2025 on days when Suarez is resting.

Remaining in relief role Morejon will enter spring training as a reliever, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Padres are in need of a fifth starter with Joe Musgrove expected to miss all or most of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last October. Morejon has some experience starting in the majors and made some sense as a candidate for the open rotation spot, but Padres manager Mike Shildt said Saturday that the southpaw "has found a really nice niche in the bullpen" and is expected to continue in that role. Morejon enjoyed his best big-league campaign in 2024, posting a 2.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 71:21 K:BB while notching two saves and 12 holds over 63.2 innings spanning 60 relief appearances.

Avoids arbitration with San Diego The Padres and Morejon avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2 million contract Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Impact Morejon was in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The left-hander was excellent out of the San Diego bullpen in 2024, putting up a 2.83 ERA and 71:21 K:BB over 63.2 innings. However, the club is thinking about stretching him out this spring as a candidate to join its rotation.

Candidate for rotation The Padres could move Morejon into the rotation next season. AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Padres currently have only three starters locked into their 2025 rotation in Dylan Cease, Michael King and Yu Darvish, and they're entertaining trade offers on Cease. Morejon thrived out of the bullpen last season, posting a 2.83 ERA and 71:21 K:BB over 63.2 innings. However, he has past starting experience and throws five pitches, so stretching him out would make sense. What role the Padres ultimately decide on for Morejon could depend largely on what moves president of baseball operations A.J. Preller makes this winter.
