Christopher Morel - Page 15 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not in Friday's lineup Morel isn't starting Friday against the Pirates.

Impact Morel is getting a breather after he went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a run, two walks and three strikeouts over the last two games. David Bote will start at the hot corner and bat third.

Drives in two Thursday Morel went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Impact Morel batted ninth but still delivered a big hit, driving in two on his second-inning double, helping the Cubs to a 3-2 victory. The rookie continues to produce solid stats, as he now has a .738 OPS and 41 RBI across 103 games to go along with 14 home runs and 10 stolen bases. Morel could be in for a breakout 2023 campaign if he's able to limit strikeouts and make more consistent contact, as he came into Thursday striking out 32.5 percent of the time this year.

Not part of Tuesday's lineup Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Morel homered and walked in Monday's contest, but that was not enough to earn him a spot in Tuesday's lineup. Morel owns a .590 OPS since the start of September, so even though the Cubs are out of the playoff hunt, he is getting a breather every few days.

Goes deep Monday Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact Morel started at shortstop and provided his 14th home run of the season. The rookie also has 10 stolen bases, and his mix of power and speed as well as his ability to play both the infield and outfield is intriguing heading into 2023. Assuming Morel gets regular playing time from Opening Day onward, he could be in line for a true breakout campaign.

Reaches twice, steals base Morel went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mets. He also stole a base.

Impact Morel was busy despite not having any hits, walking and scoring in the first inning, then walking and stealing second base in the ninth. The rookie now has 10 stolen bases this season to go along with 13 home runs across 96 games. Provided he plays a full season in the majors in 2023, Morel could push toward the 15-to-20 range in each category, which would give him some definite fantasy appeal.

Blasts home run Friday Morel went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.

Impact Morel's sixth inning home run, his 12th of the season, put the Cubs ahead for good in the high-scoring contest. The rookie also has nine stolen bases this year and a solid .790 OPS. He showed off his versatility by starting at shortstop Friday, though he's also played outfield as well as second and third base. Morel's had a strong debut so far, and he could be primed for a big 2023 campaign assuming he has an Opening Day lineup spot.

Hits 10th home run Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact 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 Opening Day.
