2024 Fantasy Outlook
Morejon has been plagued by injuries throughout his young career and 2023 was no different. The 24-year-old southpaw suffered a left elbow sprain during spring training that sidelined him until late-May. He was activated in June, then immediately optioned to the minors where he struggled with his control. Morejon was summoned back to the majors later that month and made eight appearances before a knee strain kept him out of action for another month. He began rehabbing in the minors towards the end of the campaign, but did not return to the Padres bullpen. Morejon has youth on his side, but his extensive injury history, variety of health issues and limited track record in the majors makes him a risky bet for 2024 fantasy success. Read Past Outlooks
Recalled from El Paso
The Padres recalled Morejon from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Morejon pitched two-thirds of an inning during San Diego's series in South Korea but was optioned to Triple-A ahead of its domestic opener. He's given up two runs across 6.1 minor-league frames and will now return to the Padres to provide additional bullpen depth. Pedro Avila was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Potential trade chip?
Morejon has been discussed by the Padres as an outgoing piece if San Diego acquires Juan Soto from Washington, per Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com.
ANALYSIS
Morejon is just 23 years old, but he made his major-league debut at just 20 years old back in 2019. Morejon has been scarcely used in 2022 due to injuries, recording a 3.00 ERA across six appearances with San Diego.

2016
Morejon returned last June from his 2021 Tommy John surgery. The southpaw made just three appearances as a multi-inning reliever before experiencing shoulder inflammation that held him out for a little less than a month. Morejon went on to complete a career-high 34 innings across 26 appearances with a 4.24 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.18 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB. He throws mostly fastballs (69% usage) with the occasional slider (13%), curve (13%) and changeup (4%), so it appears the soon-to-be 24-year-old still has some work to do on his secondary offerings. Morejon's role for 2023 has yet to be announced, but he figures to split time between the starting rotation and bullpen in order to manage his workload. He's flashed skills that suggest a breakout could eventually come, but there's still room to grow and health has not yet been on his side.
