Cody Morris - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not on wild-card roster Morris wasn't included on the Guardians' roster for the AL Wild Card Series against the Rays, which begins Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was one of the odd men out with the roster shrinking from 28 to 26 players for the postseason. Morris made seven appearances (five starts) in his first taste of the majors this year and pitched well with a 2.28 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB over 23.2 innings, so he should be in the mix for a roster spot if Cleveland advances to the next round.

Impact The Rangers scored twice in the bottom of the second inning on a Kevin Plawecki single and a Myles Straw throwing error. Three batters reached base in that inning, but Morris didn't allow more than a single baserunner in any of his other four frames. The Guardians were losing when he completed the bottom of the fifth but scored six runs in the top of the next frame while Morris was still the pitcher of record. The outing brought Morris' ERA down to 2.18 through his first five starts. He tentatively lines up to face the Rays and Royals (both at home) to end the regular season.

Strong outing in loss Morris (0-2) took the loss Sunday against Minnesota, allowing a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

Impact Morris had the best and longest outing of his big-league career Sunday, allowing just a solo homer and retiring 11 in a row at one point. The 25-year-old had not tossed more than four innings in any of his three previous starts. Control issues had been a cause for concern in his first three appearances, as he walked eight batters in 9.2 innings, but he walked only one batter and threw 63 of his 81 pitches for strikes against Minnesota. His next start will likely be next weekend in Texas.

Dominating at Triple-A Morris built up to 61 pitches in his most recent start for Triple-A Columbus and now has a 2.92 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB in 12.1 innings at that level.

Impact Fortunately, the talented righty's season wasn't completely lost due to the shoulder injury he suffered in spring training. He is now seemingly one rehab start away from being ready to help the big-league rotation. It's also possible the Guardians would break Morris in as a long reliever.

Impact Columbus likely marks the final stop for Morris' rehab assignment, and there's a good chance he sticks with the Guardians' affiliate for the remainder of the season. Since he was added to the 40-man roster in the offseason before being shut down in spring training with a strained right shoulder, Morris has resided on the Guardians' 60-day injured list all season. Once reinstated, Morris will be optioned to Columbus to make regular turns out of the club's rotation.

Kicks off rehab assignment Morris (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Tuesday with the Guardians' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, working a scoreless inning and striking out two.

Impact Morris has been sidelined since late in spring training with a strained right shoulder, which resulted in him being placed on the Guardians' 60-day injured list since he was added to the 40-man roster over the winter. As a result of the lengthy layoff, Morris will likely build up slowly in the lower levels of the minors before advancing to Triple-A Columbus at the end of his 30-day rehab window. Though Morris is regarding as one of the Guardians' top pitching prospects, the big club isn't expected to have a rotation spot available for him once he's back to full health, so he'll presumably be optioned to Columbus upon being activated from the IL.

Throwing bullpen sessions Morris (shoulder) has been throwing bullpen sessions at Cleveland's spring training complex, Guardians Prospective reports.

Impact He is reportedly progressing well in his rehab from the shoulder strain he suffered in spring training. Morris could return to game action at Triple-A in the coming weeks if everything goes smoothly, and he could even make his big-league debut sometime in the second half.

Transferred to 60-day IL Morris (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact It was announced earlier in the week that Morris' injury would cost him at least 4-to-6 weeks, and Cleveland decided to place him on the lengthier injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Bryan Shaw.

Impact An MRI revealed the injury, which will keep Morris sidelined for the foreseeable future. The 25-year-old has yet to make his major-league debut since being drafted by Cleveland in 2018, but if he can get healthy, he'll likely get the chance to join the big club at some point in 2022. Morris made eight starts with Triple-A Columbus in 2021, producing a 2-2 record with a 1.72 ERA and 1.02 WHIP while striking out 52 in 36.2 innings.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to 40-man roster Morris was added to Cleveland's 40-man roster Friday.

Impact This move was a certainty, as Morris put up video game numbers at Double-A (1.35 ERA, 1.05 WHIP) and Triple-A (1.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP) last season. He has a four-pitch mix headlined by a plus fastball and plus changeup and should get a chance in the big-league rotation whenever a spot opens up next season.
