Mike Morin Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Mike Morin has been acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash considerations. Morin was designated for assignment earlier in the week, but hasn't pitched bad for the Twins this season. Morin owns a 3.18 ERA in 23 appearances, but has only struck out 11 batters all season. He should pitch in middle relief for the Phillies, so he won't have much fantasy value.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Adalberto Mejia was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain on Thursday, and relief pitcher Mike Morin was recalled to replace him. Mejia has struggled mightily in 11 appearances this year, with an 8.74 ERA, 11-9 K-BB ratio, and 6.17 xFIP over 11 1/3 innings. Mejia also pitched to a 2.01 ERA in 22 1/3 innings last season, but that came with just a 5.40 xFIP and 5.67 SIERA. Mejia, Baseball Prospectus' 86th-ranked prospect before 2015, appears to be lacking any short- or long-term fantasy relevance at this point. Morin is also waiver fodder.

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled relief pitcher Mike Morin (neck) and sent down reliever Brooks Pounders on Tuesday. Morin has been out since April 19 with a neck injury. The 26-year-old will step into a very depleted Angels bullpen but is unlikely to find any save opportunities. He has a 6.48 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP in 8 1/3 innings this year and pitched to a 4.37 ERA in 55 2/3 innings in 2016 with a tidy 49:15 K:BB. If Morin finds himself pitching in the seventh and eighth innings, he could have some value in deep leagues, especially ones that count holds. With reliever Cam Bedrosian (groin) nearing a return, however, Morin is unlikely to carry much value.

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Mike Morin is expected to face hitters today as he works his way back from a neck injury that has kept him out since April 19. Assuming all goes well, his next step would be a rehab assignment. According to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, Morin could be the first Angels pitcher off the disabled list, ahead of relievers Cam Bedrosian (groin), Huston Street (lat) and Andrew Bailey (shoulder). The 26-year-old will be reporting to a very depleted bullpen, but it is unlikely he will step into any high-leverage situations. He threw 55 2/3 innings with an ERA of 4.37 last year with a very nice 49:15 K:BB ratio however, so there is a chance he could hold some value in very deep leagues if he is pitching the seventh or eighth inning.
