Shut down for 2-to-3 weeks Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Morgan will be shut down from throwing for 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with right elbow neuritis, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com r...

Impact It's not clear whether that 2-to-3 week clock started last week when Morgan first went on the 15-day injured list or this week when Counsell was asked about the reliever. Either way, Morgan will not throw for a bit longer and then will have to be built back up, so he figures to be sidelined for several more weeks.

Cubs option top prospect Matt Shaw to Triple-A after disappointing start to third baseman's career

Placed on injured list The Cubs placed Morgan on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow impingement, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Morgan's elbow forced him to make a premature exit from Monday's game. He'll now be forced to miss another couple of weeks as he moves to the IL, though it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay. Luke Little and Daniel Palencia will come up from Triple-A Iowa to help make up for the loss of Morgan and Nate Pearson, who was optioned to Iowa on Tuesday.

Nursing elbow issue Morgan left Monday's game against the Padres due to a right elbow injury, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Morgan didn't look himself during Monday's appearance, surrendering four runs on three hits and one walk before walking off with the trainer. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.

Implodes in loss Sunday Morgan (0-1) allowed six runs on six hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Morgan, who had tossed three scoreless innings of relief across two appearances to start the season, quickly saw his ERA climb to 14.73 with the awful outing. The righty only allowed nine earned runs in 42 innings with Cleveland all of last year as he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP for the Guardians. Morgan should be able to right the ship, though his ERA may take a while to recover.

Recalled from Triple-A The Cubs recalled Morgan from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morgan was optioned last week, but injuries to others opened up a spot for his return. He'll fill a middle relief role.

Sent to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Morgan to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Ryan Herrera of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Morgan was on the roster for the two-game series versus the Dodgers in Tokyo, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings in the first contest. However, he will not be part of the Opening Day roster for the Cubs' domestic opener next week. Morgan was acquired from the Guardians via trade over the offseason.

Could be odd man out Morgan may get squeezed from the Cubs' Opening Day roster and start the season at Triple-A Iowa instead , Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morgan was effective last year for Cleveland, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 42 regular-season innings, though he still has a minor-league option remaining and could be the odd man out as a result. Even if the righty begins the year in the minors, he has enough talent to be a valuable addition to the Cubs' bullpen at some point, but he likely won't see save opportunities with Ryan Pressly and Porter Hodge around.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches deal with new club Morgan agreed to a contract with the Cubs to avoid arbitration Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The Cubs acquired Morgan from the Guardians on Wednesday, and he should serve as a key member of their bullpen in 2025. He's suffered from some inconsistency during four big-league season, though he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 42 innings in 2024.
