Adrian Morejon Stats

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Adrian Morejon (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. Morejon had to leave his most recent start after his elbow was looked at by the team trainer- and an MRI ultimately pointed to the procedure, which is expected to sideline the 22-year-old hurler for 15-18 months. Morejon had a promising spring, striking out 17 batters in 14 innings, though the Padres will have to wait at least a year to see what they have in the young southpaw. Dinelson Lamet's return will be a welcomed addition to San Diego's rotation.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Adrian Morejon (elbow) was taken out of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers after facing just three batters. After a four-pitch walk to Joey Gallo, the Padres' trainer came out to visit Morejon and was tending to Morejon's elbow and forearm area. Morejon was taken out of the game right then and there and replaced by Craig Stammen. We should have more news on the injury soon, so make sure to stay tuned. As of now, Morejon's next scheduled start is on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

San Diego Padres starter Adrian Morejon took a no-decision after allowing two earned runs in four innings Monday against the San Francisco Giants. The 22-year-old threw 64 pitches, surrendering five hits and a walk while striking out a pair. Morejon's two costly mistakes resulted in a couple of solo homers that accounted for his runs. Despite seven of 15 career appearances coming as starts, Monday was Morejon's longest outing. While his long-term role is uncertain, Morejon is expected to stick in the rotation until starter Dinelson Lamet (biceps) returns. With his ability to toss five frames a serious question mark, Morejon is not a DFS target this Sunday against the Texas Rangers.
