Big performance as substitute Morel went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two additional runs scored during the Mets' 15-14 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Impact Morel was brought in for the second inning and filled in at first base after Brett Baty was removed due to left knee pain. Morel answered the call by belting a two-run homer in the third inning to give the Mets an 8-0 lead before driving in another run in the seventh. He's served in a depth role for the Mets since being promoted from the minors in mid-August, but Morel could see a bump in playing time if Baty were to miss time.

Contract selected by Mets The Mets selected Morel's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Morel inked a minor-league deal with the Mets in late June and has earned a promotion to the big club after slashing .321/.382/.716 with 12 home runs in only 31 contests with Syracuse. The 27-year-old began this season with the Marlins before being cut loose after managing a lowly .425 OPS in 22 contests. Morel could get a chance to play against some lefties.

The 27-year-old has posted a .321 average with 12 home runs, 29 RBI and 23 runs scored over 109 at-bats in 31 games with Triple-A Syracuse, and he'll look to stay hot with the big-league club.

Inks minor-league deal with Mets The Mets signed Morel to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morel was released by the Marlins last week after slashing an ugly .162/.219/.206 with a 38.4 percent strikeout rate across 73 plate appearances. The 27-year-old will report to Triple-A Syracuse for the time being, and his contract contains multiple opt-outs that he can exercise if he's not promoted to the majors by a certain date.

Cut by Marlins The Marlins released Morel on Friday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Impact Morel was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers Thursday, but the organization has now decided to part ways with him entirely. The 27-year-old outfielder slashed .162/.219/.206 across 73 plate appearances with Miami, but he should still be able to attract a minor-league deal in free agency.

Headed to Triple-A Morel was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Impact Morel was designated for assignment by Miami on Sunday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he will now report to Jacksonville. The 27-year-old has struggled to a .162 average with three doubles, one RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over 68 at-bats in 22 contests with the Marlins this season.

Designated for assignment The Marlins designated Morel for assignment Sunday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact The Marlins will finally cut Morel loose after posting a .162/.219/.206 slash line with a 38.4 percent strikeout rate through 73 plate appearances. He joined Miami on a one-year, $2 million contract in December, and he seems likely to clear waivers since the claiming team would be on the hook for his remaining salary.

The First Baseman That Solves a Contending Marlins' Offensive Dilemma The Miami Marlins had hoped Christopher Morel would be a cheap solution to their first base dilemma in 2026.

JUNE 18 • SI.COM

Not in Saturday's lineup Morel is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Rays on Saturday.

Impact Even though the Rays are sending southpaw Shane McClanahan to the mound, the right-hitting Morel will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Leo Jimenez serves as the Marlins' designated hitter and Javier Sanoja starts at third base. Morel has seen a noticeable decline in his playing time due to his struggles at the plate, with the 26-year-old slashing .172/.232/.219 with one steal, one RBI and a 39.1 percent strikeout rate across 69 plate appearances this season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Roster spot in jeopardy Morel could be released if he doesn't begin hitting soon, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Signed to a modest one-year contract this offseason and asked to transition from the outfield to first base, Morel had his campaign put on pause by an Opening Day oblique strain, but the 26-year-old had contributed very little since coming off the IL in late April. Over 63 plate appearances this season, Morel is slashing .169/.222/.220 with zero homers and a 3:23 BB:K. Clearing him off the roster would potentially open up a spot for top prospect Kemp Alderman (wrist), who has been getting work at first base at Triple-A Jacksonville -- although it was a collision at first base while playing defense that led to his current wrist injury. In the meantime, Connor Norby and Liam Hicks will be the primary options at 1B for Miami while Morel tries to find his swing.
