Christopher Morel - Page 17 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Belts homer Thursday Morel went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact The Cubs couldn't get much going in the contest, but Morel ensured that they weren't shut out with his two-run blast to left field in the fifth inning. The long ball was his ninth of the campaign and was just his third hit over his past six contests. Despite the recent mini-slump, Morel is enjoying a strong rookie campaign with a .273/.343/.503 slash line, 25 RBI, 33 runs and seven stolen bases in addition to the nine homers.

Triples, scores Wednesday Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Chicago trailed 1-0 entering the eighth inning, but Morel delivered a jolt with a one-out triple that nearly left the park. The outfielder then scored on a Rafael Ortega single to tie the game. Morel has cooled off some since a hot start to his rookie campaign, but his mix of power and speed (eight home runs and seven stolen bases across 46 games) makes him an intriguing fantasy player so long as he's making regular contact at the plate.

Impact Morel hit a two-run shot off Hansel Robles to tie the game in the sixth inning. He's now homered in three consecutive games, giving him eight homers in 41 games this season. He'll have to keep showing power to remain the above-average hitter he's been thus far, as his 30.0 percent strikeout rate suggests his .281 batting average is due to drop soon.

Raps five hits in rout Morel went 5-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs and two RBI in Thursday's 15-7 victory versus Cincinnati.

Morel has now gone deep in consecutive games for the second time this season and is 8-for-14 with two homers, five RBI and six runs over his past three contests.

Blasts home run Wednesday Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Impact Morel came into Wednesday batting just .182 over his previous 10 games, and he dropped to ninth in the order as a result. However, the rookie showcased his abilities in this contest, recording his sixth home run of the season through 39 games. Morel has also stolen seven bases, giving him an intriguing mix of power and speed potential. The 23-year-old should remain a decent fantasy asset as long as he keeps seeing regular playing time.
