Joey Cantillo Sent To Triple-A, Eli Morgan Recalled
Cleveland Guardians starting pitching prospect Joey Cantillo is being optioned to Triple-A Columbus to make room for right-handed pitcher Eli Morgan. Cantillo made his first two starts at the major league level over the past two weeks and held a 7.36 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, and a 3:7 BB:K ratio. Cantillo should get another opportunity in the big league later this summer as he performed well at Triple-A in the past with a 2.39 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. This transaction makes for Eli Morgan to return to the big leagues. Morgan has split this season, bouncing between the majors and Triple-A. In the big leagues, he has held a strong 1.98 ERA and 1.17 across 13 innings of relief. Morgan was typically deployed in the seventh inning in the past, and fantasy managers should expect him to reclaim a similar role. Morgan is worth a look in deeper leagues that score holds, as he should typically be pitching with a lead playing on a strong Guardians team.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan threw six innings of one-run ball while striking out three in an 11-1 win over the New York Yankees Sunday. Morgan has been wildly inconsistent this season as he has posted a 5.68 ERA with 73 strikeouts across 77 1/3 innings pitched. He will likely start 2022 in AAA barring an injury to the projected rotation, but would be the first man up and could be worth a stash in deeper dynasty leagues.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four across 4 2/3 innings of work in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Texas Rangers. It was another tough night for Morgan who has allowed nine earned runs over his previous 14 1/3 innings pitched. While Morgan has shown some flashes of being a solid starter this season, he is not someone that can be trusted down the stretch. This should have been a solid streaming spot for him and he let fantasy managers down in a big way.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan threw six innings of scoreless baseball while striking out eight in a 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Morgan got the win and is now 2-5 on the season with a 5.80 ERA and 54 strikeouts across 54 1/3 innings pitched. He still cannot be trusted as a fantasy option moving forward as he has been very inconsistent on the season. His next start will likely come next week at home against the Texas Rangers.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan allowed five earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out just one in four innings of work in Thursday's 17-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics. This is a game both Morgan and the Tribe would like to forget as Morgan just could not get anything going. He had been solid recently as he had allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last five starts and two or fewer in each of his last two starts. He will carry a 6.52 ERA into his next start against the Minnesota Twins next week and is not a recommended streaming option.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan pitched six innings of two-run ball while allowing five hits, one walk, and striking out nine. It was the second time this season Morgan was able to strike out nine opposing hitters, however, he has still been inconsistent at the Major League level as he now has a 6.75 ERA across eight starts. He is not recommended as a streaming option moving forward.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan has been recalled to make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Morgan has struggled with a 7.47 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with the Indians this season. This isn't an ideal spot for Morgan against a strong Blue Jays lineup. He won't be a recommended streaming option or DFS choice for Monday. Also, first baseman Bobby Bradley has been activated from the bereavement list. He was absent over the weekend due to a death in the family. Bradley isn't in the starting lineup, but is available off the bench on Monday.
According to Mandy Bell, the Cleveland Indians have optioned right-handerEli Morgan to Triple-A Columbus and have recalled starting pitcher Sam Hentgesin a corresponding move. This comes after a relatively solid start for Morgan on Wednesday night against the Houston Astros in which he went five innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out five. Hentges has posted an 8.23 ERA across 42 2/3 innings pitched at the Major League level this season and has no fantasy relevance moving forward.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan will take the mound Friday night in Oakland to kick off the Indians' second half of the season. Morgan has struggled quite a bit at the major league level as he currently has an 8.44 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts through 21 1/3 innings pitched. He is not a recommended fantasy option moving forward nor is he worth streaming in this matchup.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan allowed four earned runs on six hits while striking out four across his five innings of work in a 13-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. It was the second consecutive start in which Morgan allowed four earned runs across five innings pitched and he will end the month with an overall ERA of 9.37 for the season. He will likely still receive additional starts while Shane Bieber and Zach Plesac work their way back from injury, but he cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes at this point.
