SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • MLB.COM

Heads to IL The Padres placed Morgan on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 9, due to right shoulder inflammation.

Impact Morgan has been a reliable arm for the Padres out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.80 ERA across 45 innings. The 25-year-old rookie will head to the injured list Friday, and he'll be eligible to return Sept. 24, two days before the Padres' final regular-season game. Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Morgan intends to return once eligible, and his placement on the IL was precautionary. JP Sears was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Will work as opener Sunday Morgan is slated to start Sunday's game against Minnesota, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact This will be Morgan's second start of the season -- in his first appearance as an opener, he gave up one run over 1.1 frames against Texas on July 6. The right-hander hasn't tossed more than two innings in any outing this season, so that will probably be his cap Sunday as well. Kyle Hart is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso to work in bulk relief behind Morgan.

JULY 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Opening Sunday's contest Morgan will serve as the Padres' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Rangers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morgan will be making the first start of his professional career, as he's worked exclusively in relief since signing with the Padres as an undrafted free agent in 2022. The 25-year-old is available on five days' rest and has covered two innings in both of his last two relief appearances, but the Padres aren't likely to push his workload too far beyond that level Sunday before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Effective in big-league debut Morgan retired both batters he faced in Monday's victory versus Miami.

Impact Morgan was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday and made his major-league debut one day later. The 25-year-old right-hander entered in the eighth inning and needed just six pitches (four of which were strikes) to retire the two batters he faced. Morgan has posted a 6.91 ERA while allowing five homers over 14.1 frames across two minor-league levels this season, but his impressive 30:2 K:BB is likely what led to San Diego's decision to bring him up, at least temporarily, to provide some support for the big club's bullpen.

Heading back to Triple-A The Padres optioned Morgan to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Impact He'll head back to the minors to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Stephen Kolek, who was recalled from Triple-A ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Pirates. Morgan didn't get the chance to make his MLB debut out of the San Diego bullpen after receiving his first big-league call-up from Double-A San Antonio last Sunday.

MAY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to majors The Padres selected Morgan's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Sunday.

Impact Morgan will make the jump to the majors straight from Double-A, where he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 8.2 innings while striking out 19 batters. He'll serve out of the Padres' bullpen after Logan Gillaspie (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
