Wild in first start
Morales did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing no hits and five walks over 2.2 scoreless innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.
Analysis
Morales didn't allow a hit in his first MLB start Sunday, but five walks and just 25 strikes on 57 pitches limited him to recording only eight outs. The rookie debuted Aug. 1 against the Diamondbacks, giving up one run over two innings in relief, before earning his first start. Earlier this year, he regularly worked deep into games for Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas from mid-April to mid-June, but the right-hander hasn't gone beyond three innings in an outing since the start of July. With the pitching staff in flux and Luis Severino (oblique) now on the injured list, it remains to be seen what role Morales will fill moving forward.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 20-year-old righty out of Cuba, Morales received $3 million when he signed in January of 2023. It's very rare to see a prospect play at four levels of the minors in a season, but Morales opened the year with four appearances in the Dominican Summer League and followed that up with three starts in the Arizona Complex League. He was then promoted to Single-A Stockton for five starts before closing the year with a pair of starts at High-A. Morales was old for a DSL pitcher, but he was young for the Midwest League, so his overall body of work (2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 44 innings) tells a pretty fair story. Known for his projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame and mid-90s fastball, Morales should spend a good chunk of his age-21 season at Double-A.
