Adrian Morejon Stats

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.

San Diego Padres starter Adrian Morejon faces off against the San Francisco Giants Monday night and lines up for a two-start week. With Dinelson Lamet (biceps) out. Morejon earned the vacant rotation spot with a 3.21 ERA this spring despite a 1.57 WHIP. The 22-year-old former prospect has tossed 27 big league frames over the past two seasons with mixed results, holding a 6.26 ERA and 28 percent strikeout rate. If the outing goes well, Morejon will likely pitch again Sunday as the Friars visit the Texas Rangers. The southpaw possesses intriguing upside with a four pitch mix but has failed to surpass three innings in any of his 14 career appearances. With a chance that he won't qualify for a potential victory, Morejon is a risky DFS proposition to start the week.

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Adrian Morejon struck out five batters over three innings of work against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The only run against him came on a solo home run by Ketel Marte to lead off the game. Morejon has 10 strikeouts and six walks with just two runs allowed through seven innings of work this spring. He made nine appearances in the majors in 2020 and struggled with his command which led to seven home runs allowed in 19.1 innings. Although he's pitched exclusively as a starter in the minors, the southpaw could provide innings at the MLB level as either a starter or a reliever -- depending on the health of other pitchers, including Dinelson Lamet.
